Abstract

Curriculum and Pedagogy

Teachers were brought together to produce a package of exemplary assessment tasks, rich in their potential to provide data on students' mathematical understanding and knowledge, and thus link with the national profile as a reporting framework. Through involvement in the writing team, it was found that teachers actually guided their own professional development. The writing team situation provided teachers with (i) support, (ii) feedback, (iii) opportunities for reflection; as well as assisting them gain (iv) confidence in using, and (v) knowledge and understanding of, the national profile.
