Entering tertiary education for the first time can be a daunting experience for Māori youth who leave mainstream education with few or no qualifications and a history of truancy, or exclusion from mainstream education.
This report looks at the process of integrated assessment for learners who might struggle with traditional assessment. It offers recommendations for building organisational capability to ensure long-term sustainability of integrated assessment approaches.
