Waikiwi Kindergarten

"Teachers have redeveloped systems for planning, assessment and evaluation for groups and individual children to better align with the kindergarten vision. These systems need to be further developed to be effective."

Planning and assessment systems redeveloped but need further development to be effective.

"The kindergarten philosophy, vision, and long and short-term planning have not been developed in consultation with whānau. Currently these reflect what teachers believe are the desired outcomes and key priorities for children's learning. The next step to improve outcomes for children is for teachers to find meaningful ways to collaborate with whānau."

Philosophy and vision not developed with whānau; meaningful collaboration needed.

"Teachers have a useful plan in place to further develop the bicultural curriculum and strengthen bicultural practices. These practices are helping create an environment where Māori children and their whānau know that their culture is valued. Teachers need to continue to develop and implement the plan. In particular, they need to find ways to improve assessment practices to consistently show how Māori children are actively engaged in their learning, progressing well and succeeding as Māori."

Plan in place but needs implementation; assessment practices need development for Māori children.
