The National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) is predominantly used in the senior secondary school in Aotearoa New Zealand. Its introduction between 2002 and 2004 signalled a seismic shift in assessment practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNCEA in Context\u003c\/em\u003e offers a compelling account of the educational, social, and political forces that shaped New Zealand's assessment landscape in the years before NCEA, through its implementation, to the present day. This book provides a frank analysis of the constraints, controversies, and compromises that contoured NCEA, while rebuffing the myth that a golden age of assessment existed before NCEA was introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book explores the complex relationship between NCEA and the New Zealand curriculum. The authors use examples from innovative schools to illustrate how an assessment approach that honours the intentions of the curriculum can provide rich learning experiences that motivate students and deepen their learning experience. Written by passionate educators, this book sets an agenda for the continued development of NCEA into a dynamic and adaptive assessment system fit for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosemary Hipkins, Michael Johnston, Mark Sheehan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0947509275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780947509279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nzcer Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.53d","brand":"Rosemary Hipkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47199907086591,"sku":"9780947509279","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b44d516-24e1-42ac-a9ac-49c4d893d47f.jpg?v=1756785550","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ncea-in-context-rosemary-hipkins-9780947509279","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
