About this Assessment
PAT Punctuation Stanines enable a student’s achievement to be compared against National Norms. They also enable teachers and parents to compare
student performance across cohort groups.
Stanines and their associated test scores have been scaled and ‘normed’ to fit the ‘Bell Curve of Normal Distribution’.
This test assesses a student’s level of Punctuation. This is the first time that this test has been used at Waikanae School and it provides excellent insights
into the next steps for learning and teaching.
This assessment has only been taken with students in Year 5,6,7, and 8
As the NZCER have supplied the Scaled Score match to National Standards we are able provide the Indicative National Standards grades of Well Below,
Below, At, and Above for Years 6 to 8. This has been treated as an end of year (EOY) summative assessment for 2017 due to the fact that students still
have 10 months of learning to undertake in their relevant Year Group.
As a result of these NZCER Scaled Score Matches we are also able to supply Comparisons to Equivalent Year Group End of Year Performance. It is
important to note with this graphs that students still have 10 months of learning to get to the appropriate Year Level Performance
NZCER have now provided schools with an expected (National Average) rate pf progress from one year to the next as measured by scaled scores. This
enables us to track the progress of cohorts of students against both the national expectation as well as other cohorts of interest within our school.
Importantly in order for this to happen students must have undertaken the assessment twice so that the differential can be calculated and progress of
individuals and cohorts can then be analysed

2017 PAT Punctuation Achievement Summary
1. Overall performance across the school is above National Norms. We have 70% of our students at or above Stanine 5. (Norm =60%). This performance
is 10% above the National Norm.
2. This year our overall performance trends up over the three year groups, beginning at 60% in Year 6 and finishing at 79% by year 8.
3. The Year 8 Cohorts is a real area of strength with 79% of students at or above Stanine 5 (Norm =60%). This performance is 19% above the National
Norm.
4. In comparison to National Norms our ‘tail’ remains very small. The tail being the 18% of students with Stanine Result 1, 2, or 3 (Norm= 23%). This
performance is 5% better than the National Norm.
5. Maori Performance is above National Norms and below that of NZ European/Pakeha. We have 68% of our Maori students at or above Stanine 5
(Norm =60%). This performance is 8% above the National Norm for all ethnicities.
6. Pacific Peoples are all above National Norms with 100% of students at or above Stanine 5 (Norm =60%) This performance is 40% above the National
Norm. It is important to note that this group contains only 3 students or 2% of the test population.
7. Indicative National Standards results show that 68% of students in Year 6, 7 and 8 are ‘At or Above the Standard’ when the results are interpreted as
summative assessment for 2017. See page 20.
8. Even though we have only done this assessment twice we can state that the results over the two-year period show an improvement for all cohorts. See
page 12.
9. All three Year Group Cohorts have made pleasing progress from one year to the next. See Equivalent Year Group Graphs on pages 16-18.
10. The rates of progress as measured by Scale Score show that Maori and NZ European are very similar. There is no apparent ethnic achievement
deficit. Maori have made the most progress in 12 months (3.41patp) while Pacific Peoples actually went backwards by (-1.53patp). Mind you the three
students in this cohort have a Stanine scores of 5, 6 and 6. So their actual levels of achievement are still quite high even though they did not progress.
11. When looking at progress as measured against a percentage of expectation (100% being 1 year’s progress in 1 calendar year) Maori exceed NZ European
by 9.1% points

12. When looking at our Writing Target Group it appears the Progress Scores are low, however one must take into account that every student in this group
was either Well Below or Below the National Standard in Writing on 31 December 2015.
a. There were 28 students who undertook both assessments in (PATs in March 2016 and March 2017). Of this group the following statements can
be made
i. 11 Students have made accelerated progress
ii. 9 students have made accelerated progress at more than a rate of 150% (18 months’ progress in 12 calendar months)
iii. This improvement is also reflected in OTJs for Writing with 3 of the 28 students now achieving at the National Standard for Writing (31
December 2016)
