The Ministry of Education and NZQA National Qualifications Services have completed a review of the achievement and unit standards listed above.
New Registration date November 2011
Date new versions published November 2011
Planned review date December 2014
Summary of review and consultation process
In 2008 the Ministry of Education (MoE) and NZQA began to review achievement and unit standards in light of the revised New Zealand Curriculum (NZC). This Alignment of Standards (AoS) review also addressed duplication of outcomes, credit parity, fairness, consistency, and coherence. The AoS review was guided by the revised NZC itself and the Standards Review Guidelines. A copy of the NZC is available at: http://nzcurriculum.tki.org.nz/Curriculum-documents/The-New-Zealand-Curriculum.
Teacher subject associations were involved in the review, and draft achievement standards were the focus of wide consultation, especially with secondary schools and teachers. Extensive resources, including student exemplars, were also developed to support these standards, and are available on the MoE and/or the NZQA websites.
The review of unit standards included consultation with tertiary providers to assess continued relevance and likely future use of the standards. Unit standards that duplicate achievement standard outcomes and those without the likelihood of future tertiary use were recommended for expiry.
National consultation was undertaken in 2010, with the results analysed by Research New Zealand. The responses were generally positive.
The review of these Level 2 unit and achievement standards was completed in time for implementation in schools in 2012. The review of unit and achievement standards at Level 1 was completed in time for implementation in schools in 2011. Standards at Level 3 will be implemented in 2013.
Main changes resulting from the review
· All NZC Level 7 (NZQF Level 2) outcomes derived from the NZC are now assessed using achievement standards, and there are no longer any unit standards linked to the NZC.
· Existing achievement standards were reviewed and new achievement standards were developed to align with the NZC. See table below.
· Grading criteria for achievement standards were reviewed in accordance with the Standards Review Guidelines.
· Unit standards that recognised similar outcomes as achievement standards were recommended for expiry. See table below.
For a detailed description of the review of, and the changes to, the Drama standards see the appendix at the end of this report.
