The approach, where teachers make 'Overall Teacher Judgements' based on a range of assessment tools and their own observations rather than using any particular national test, has created predictable problems with moderation within and across schools. It has been claimed that this 'bold' Kiwi Standards approach avoids the narrowed curriculum and mediocre outcomes of high-stakes assessment in other countries. Yet this book suggests it just produces another variant of the same problems and demonstrates that even a relatively weak high-stakes assessment approach still produces performative effects. The book provides a blow by blow account of the development of a policy including the continuous repositioning of New Zealand's Government as it has sought to justify the policy in the face of opposition from educators. Indeed the Kiwi Standards tale provides a world-class example of teachers fighting back against policy, with the help of academics. There is an indigenous Māori aspect to the story as well. Finally, this book also provides comparative international perspectives including responses from well-known US, English and Australian academics. 001359229 650_0 $$aEducation. 001359229 650_0 $$aInternational education. 001359229 650_0 $$aComparative education. 001359229 650_0 $$aEducation and state. 001359229 650_0 $$aducation and state. 001359229 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001359229 7001_ $$aSpringerLink (Online service) 001359229 830_0 $$aEvaluating Education: Normative Systems and Institutional Practices. 001359229 852__ $$bebk 001359229 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-61959-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001359229 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1359229$$pGLOBAL_SET 001359229 980__ $$aBIB 001359229 980__ $$aEBOOK 001359229 982__ $$aEbook 001359229 983__ $$aOnline 001359229 994__ $$a92$$bISE
