Assessment

This is a clip I made after a brilliant day listening to Lester Flockton explore the National Standards. I put this together to share with our staff in order to create discussion and debate about the complex issues surrounding assessment. It is purely my interpretation of this song and does not reflect the opinion of my employer or anyone other than myself. It is intended to draw attention to the fact that children have different abilities and needs and that we need to ensure we, as educators develop the whole child.
The idea for the song came to Harry Chapin when his secretary told him about her son who brought his report card home from school one day. The teacher had written a note in the card saying: "Your son is marching to the beat of a different drummer, but don't worry we will soon have him joining the parade by the end of the term."

Ohh, are global corporations crushing the humanities in education in NZ too? In the US, they are pimping STEMs-only education. See what happens in STEMs Need Blooms on Vimeo.

It's a pity that those who need to take note of this won't get the message as it's not black and white but rainbow.

Sounds like Lester loves the National Standards about as much as he loves the thought of assessing & grading Key Competencies - ie not at all.
Very nicely done!

Outstanding the irony of another past generation of New Zealander's who were told what to think being represented by the red and green poppy seems sadly fitting.
Kia Kaha all who are fighting for our children's right to think!

So Cool Simon!! This is what it's all about. Too many people with too much power have been locked away in offices for too long. They need to get down on the floor and talk to the kids. They don't even understand the NZ curriculum and the opportunities it offers. check out the You tube clip for Race to Nowhere - Theatrical Trailer. Same sentiment but 10 years further down the track..
