In her introduction, Thornton says that there is a lack of empirical research focused on effective leadership practice in early childhood education. This mirrors a silence on the subject in the original Te Whāriki (1996).

In a scan of the current landscape, Cooper highlights the increasing participation of infants and toddlers in early learning settings, ongoing concerns about the quality of provision for infants and toddlers, and a reported lack of cultural responsiveness in many settings.

The Education Review Office (ERO) first introduced evaluation indicators in 2003, revising them in 2010. This new version reflects a deepening understanding of how schools improve, and the role that evaluation plays in that process. It also reflects a strengthened relationship between ERO’s approaches to evaluation in English-medium and Māori-medium settings. It supports external and internal evaluation of schools.

This document is the result of a collaborative effort between ERO and representatives from hospital-based education and care services. It will support improved service performance and accountability, and focuses on how well placed hospital-based services are to contribute to children’s learning, and promote their wellbeing.

This ERO summary report focuses on how Kingslea School supports educational provision and positive ākonga outcomes at five Oranga Tamariki residences.

Reviews of private schools have a different process to state/state-integrated school reviews. We report to the Secretary for Education on whether your private school meets the criteria for registration. This page covers the process for private school reviews and includes the Assurance Statement and Self-audit checklist and the fit and proper person attestation.

This ERO summary report focuses on how Central Regional Health School supports positive outcomes for ākonga in Oranga Tamariki residences.

In this paper, the author describes how the current widespread interest in indicators of education quality is the result of three converging strands: school effectiveness research, school improvement research, and information technology. From the beginning there has been a tension between the use of indicators for accountability and improvement purposes; where the balance is struck significantly influences the indicators themselves, how they are organised in domains, and how they are used in practice.

State or state-integrated schools/kura that are new, merged, newly state-integrated or changing their status have a New School Assurance Review after they have completed their Readiness Review. We do the review within the first year of the school’s operation. This page covers the review process and documents needed included the School Evaluation Indicators and the School Self Audit and Assurance Statement.

This report represents the final phase in the external evaluation of the initial implementation of the approach with the initial group of 75 schools. The intended audience for this report is ERO senior leadership team. It is intended that this report will be used formatively to consider opportunities for refinement and improvement of the approach.

This section is for English-medium schools, kura, private schools and homeschoolers working with us during a review. 

The survey was developed to elicit perspectives of principals involved in the initial implementation of the Schools: Evaluation for Improvement Approach in 75 schools across New Zealand. The survey items were developed in collaboration with the Education Review Office to ensure questions reflected key domains of interest. The survey incorporated Likert scale items, and open-ended items.

ERO publishes an annual report each year.

Our annual report sets out the operating context, our strategic direction, what we aimed to achieve over the previous 12 months, and what we did achieve.

It also outlines our role and the scope of our functions, reports on organisational health and capability, and includes our financial statements and service performance.
 

The School Improvement Framework is for use throughout your school’s evaluation cycle as part of Te Ara Huarau. 

In this paper Glasgow brings a Pacific voice to the debate about how the indicators should be revised. She argues that the care and education of young children has become infused with western, middle- class values and ideologies, institutionalised, normative, and separated from relationships and contexts. Following widespread consultation there was an expectation that Te Whāriki (1996) would directly speak to the needs of Pacific peoples, but this did not happen.

State or state-integrated schools/kura that are new, merged, newly state-integrated or changing their status will have a Readiness Review. This page shows how these reviews are conducted.
