Key Indicators:
 * The teacher: **
 * 1) ** i. ** analyses assessment information to identify progress and ongoing learning needs of ākonga
 * 2) ** ii. ** uses assessment information to give regular and ongoing feedback to guide and support further learning

 * 5) ** v. ** fosters involvement of whānau in the collection and use of information about the learning of ākonga ||
 * Evidence for this could be that:

The teacher critically reflects on information gathered about learning to inform future practice to enrich the environment for learning and to support and extend the ākonga and the next steps in learning.

The teacher knows how to make effective use ofappropriate assessment technologies, for example, portfolio evidence, asTTle, and learning stories/narratives. Good judgement is shown in selection of assessment information.

Assessment information is shared with learners so that they know about their achievement and are able to use this information in their own goal setting for learning.

The teacher communicates assessment information appropriately, effectively and openly with whānau, teachers and ākonga. S/he uses sensitive, informed professional judgements to guide practice and inform the ākonga and whānau of next steps. Assessment information is appropriately recorded and documented and communicated, for example, via reports and kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) contact.

The teacher uses assessment as a reflective tool e.g. for self-review or evaluation of programmes. Ākonga are involved when evaluating learning programmes. The teacher also engages openly in team discussions with teachers, whānau and other relevant members of the learning community when evaluating the success of learning programmes for all learners and planning for next steps in the teaching and learning programme.
