Located in Auckland, New Zealand, the school focuses on creating a personalised, future-focused curriculum that empowers students to be leaders of their own <\/span> To support this focus, Education Perfect (EP) has <\/span>been embedded into Maths, English, Languages <\/span>and Inquiry. EP, a comprehensive digital toolkit, <\/span>contains learning, assessment and analytics <\/span>features across a range of global subjects <\/span>and curriculums. For more information on the <\/span>platform\u2019s resources, explore the company\u2019s <\/span>homepage.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”20350″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text el_id=”challenge”]<\/p>\n TNIS\u2019 leadership wanted to address the use of multiple online platforms across core subjects and a lack of consistency of coverage between classrooms within subject areas. TNIS\u2019 vision was that all teachers would use the same digital platform to support teaching across core subjects. With a long-term focus, the school intended for EP\u2019s content and assessments to align with TNIS\u2019 progressions through the core curriculum levels. EP was quickly identified as an online platform that could readily meet these objectives.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”solution”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1707867994350{margin-bottom: 1rem !important;}”]Staff were supported with training by two <\/span>\u2018champion\u2019 teachers. Rebecca Phillips was tasked <\/span>with leading the integration of EP into the Maths <\/span>Department. <\/span>Quote: \u201cI invested a significant amount of time <\/span>working through EP to identify and create pre- and <\/span>post-tests, and align the EP content with our own <\/span>progressions. I used the tagging functionality <\/span>built into EP to label assessments and tasks. For <\/span>example, activities related to place value were <\/span>tagged as \u2018Progression 1\u2019.\u201d – Rebecca Phillips <\/span><\/p>\n As a result, the teachers, and Rebecca, could <\/span>pull individual and whole class reports to see <\/span>who needed further support with particular <\/span>progressions. They could then organise face-to- <\/span>face workshops or assign further EP activities. <\/span>\u201cI like how all the class and individual reports are <\/span>displayed in one area, and are very visual and <\/span>easy to understand,\u201d Rebecca says. \u201cWe can see <\/span>straight away if a whole class needs support <\/span>with something. We empower the students too, <\/span>providing scaffolding as required to help them <\/span>understand the reports, highlighting what needs <\/span>work in red and orange, and where they have <\/span>achieved in green.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n The result of Rebecca\u2019s hard work is that EP is now <\/span>fully integrated across TNI\u2019s maths provision. \u201cWe <\/span>are enjoying the ease of use, the consistency of <\/span>approach, that everything is marked for us, and <\/span>that we can easily interpret the reports. It has <\/span>become a road map for the department.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”20349″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1703115725656{margin-top: 3rem !important;}” el_id=”impact”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Due to EP\u2019s integration, TNIS has successfully <\/span>achieved their vision of consolidation. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNow that we are consistently and frequently <\/span>undertaking assessments in the same platform, <\/span>the students genuinely understand what level <\/span>they are at and, more importantly, what that <\/span>means. For some, that has been a real wake up call, <\/span>but at the same time, [students] know how they <\/span>can progress and they can see their growth over <\/span>time. EP has encouraged a real sense of ownership <\/span>of learning amongst the majority of the students.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n Within subject areas, consistency of coverage has <\/span>also been realised. <\/span>\u201cWe all appreciate the single log in and it makes life <\/span>much easier for new teachers and relievers. The <\/span>fact that it works seamlessly on all devices and <\/span>with Google Classroom and our Chromecasts is <\/span>also a plus.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”20114″][vc_column_text el_class=”multi-quote-area” css=”.vc_custom_1707868524273{margin-bottom: 3rem !important;}” el_id=”feedback”]\u201cAll the teachers are using it. Rather <\/span><\/em>than different classes doing different <\/span><\/em>things, everyone is covering the <\/span><\/em>same content and we can access <\/span><\/em>comparative insights into our progress, <\/span><\/em>enabling us to identify and understand <\/span><\/em>where we need to provide support, be <\/span><\/em>it at class level or by differentiating for <\/span><\/em>individual students.\u201d<\/span><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1703115790154{margin-top: 3rem !important;}” el_id=”summary”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Takapuna Normal Intermediate School has reduced <\/span>the number of digital platforms used across the <\/span>school and has reaped many benefits, including <\/span>increased student ownership of learning, greater <\/span>insights into student achievement gaps, and <\/span>more consistent coverage within curricula. EP\u2019s <\/span>single platform and user-friendly navigation saves <\/span>students the effort of committing several logins <\/span>to memory, and saves teachers time that they can <\/span>then recommit to developing student relationships. <\/span>The platform has allowed TNIS to streamline <\/span>classroom lessons by integrating existing content <\/span>with EP\u2019s customisable features. As a result, as <\/span>EP\u2019s functionality continues to grow, so will the <\/span>benefits that TNIS can reap.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#6b748e” css=”.vc_custom_1703112896831{padding-top: 2rem !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text el_class=”bottom-notes”]LAST UPDATED<\/strong><\/p>\n Feb 14, 2024[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text el_class=”bottom-notes”]CATEGORY<\/strong><\/p>\n Case studies[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1704752908300{padding-top: 4rem !important;padding-bottom: 4rem !important;}” el_id=”download-form”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner el_class=”row644″ css=”.vc_custom_1704753138702{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":20350,"template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"default","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false},"ep-category":[132],"region":[155],"ep-focus-area":[161],"yoast_head":"\n
