Cognition

Pegasus

Cognition Education has worked with the Pegasus schooling improvement cluster to ensure that school leaders and teachers were able to analyse and interpret data in a way that informs their practices and understandings as relevant for their role. The support provided was designed to enable classroom teachers to make informed decisions about the teaching and learning that occurs in their classrooms, ensuring individual student needs are recognised and met.
In this initiative we developed a work plan which was designed to promote independence and long term sustainability for the cluster. Over the contract period our role increasingly became one of coach and mentor rather than of service provider.

AimHi ICTPD

Involves the collaborative use of digital technologies to

• provide quality achievement data to teachers and students
• facilitate within and between school discussion about that data, especially about trends and exceptions which might influence pedagogy
• facilitate the sharing of data with parents to further include them in the learning partnership.

Eight schools from that south Auckland AIMHI cluster are participating in this three year project. The schools have chosen e-asTTLe as their primary assessment tool, but are using assessment data from a range of sources.

Australian Northern Territory e-asTTle Pilot support

The Northern Territory of Australia has negotiated with the New Zealand Ministry of Education to use e-asTTle in a pilot with 15 schools in their region in 2011. Cognition Education has been contracted to support the pilot to ensure that the schools are well positioned to use e-asTTle effectively as a classroom teaching and learning tool. We have developed a set of online learning tools and are running online workshops with lead teachers in each pilot school.
