Ministry of Education Assessment PLD Workshops Now Open

The Ministry of Education NZ has opened registrations for a new series of professional learning and development opportunities. These sessions focus on strengthening how schools and kura measure student progress, ensuring that assessment remains grounded in the science of learning.

The Ministry of Education is offering new Assessment PLD workshops and webinars to help schools implement evidence-based assessment and reporting practices. Adobe stock.
