Latest ERO review
2017-09-13 · Dr Lesley Patterson, ERO
- In 2016 all students involved in centre programmes transitioned back to school, with over 90% of those remaining in the district in some form of education six to eighteen months later
- Student progress was greatest in relation to improved behaviour
- Outcomes for Māori students were generally similar to, and in some instances higher than, their peers
- Centre staff identify the social, emotional and academic needs of each student well
- Teachers make less use of academic achievement information to set specific objectives for students, limiting usefulness of ILPs for promoting literacy and numeracy skills
"In 2016 all students involved in centre programmes transitioned back to school. Student progress was greatest in relation to improved behaviour. Subsequent tracking of these students over a six-to-eighteen month period shows that, for those that remained in the district, over 90% were in some form of education."
