NCEA Reporting
In Years 12–13, reporting is based around NCEA assessment. Every time a student completes a major assessment, either internal or a practice external, teachers will publish a Learning Feedback. Teachers may also choose to provide general feedback at any stage. This may be connected to practice work or is a general checkpoint (most applicable to portfolio subjects). Please note that during Derived Grade school examinations, Derived Grades will not have a comment due to the nature of marking bulk school exams. Work types There is a range of work types that we report on and understanding the different types will help you understand where your son is with his NCEA.
NCEA Internal Assessment
You will note that the title begins with the Achievement Standard number which allows the result to go to the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). The details in parentheses tell you how many credits the assessment was worth. The work type in italics indicates it is an internally assessed standard. When a Learning Feedback is published with this information, it means your son has completed an internal assessment and if given A, M, or E on the report, received the corresponding number of credits.
Derived Grades
Again, this title begins with the Achievement Standard number. The term Derived Grade refers to a practice External Assessment where the grade is held on file and then used in the event that a student is unable to complete their end-of-year examinations. This is not a final grade, but an indication of how the student is likely to perform in their end-of-year examination at that point in the course.
