At our first Board meeting for 2010 we spent quite a bit of time looking at and talking about the National Standards. We shared with the Board the difficulty we were having in interpreting what the standards were and our frustration that we were expected to report progress without the support of aligned standardised assessment tools.
Overall our Board are pleased with the way we manage assessment in our school. Their response was a request for us to carry on what we are doing, making adjustment to meet the National Standards requirements providing this did not detract from our current practice. They also asked us to come back to them if carrying out the National Standards requirements compromised our assessment practice.
I left the Board meeting feeling both affirmed and supported.
