Welcome to e-asTTle

e-asTTle is an online assessment tool, developed to assess students’ achievement and progress in reading, mathematics, writing, and in pānui, pāngarau and tuhituhi. The tool has been developed primarily for the assessment of students in years 5–10, but because it tests curriculum levels 2-6 it can be used for students in lower and higher year levels.

e-asTTle provides teachers and school leaders with information that can be used to inform learning programmes and to apply teaching practice that maximises individual student learning. Many teachers using e-asTTle have found it to be a great tool for planning, for helping students to understand their progress, and for involving parents in discussions about how well their children are doing.

Resources to support the revised e-asTTle writing tool are now available.

The following resources are now on the e-asTTle website to support the implementation of the revised e-asTTle writing tool, available from the beginning of Term 2, 2012.

• e-asTTle writing manual
• marking rubric
• Structure and Language notes
• generic exemplars
• glossary and definitions

More online support will be made available in the near future, including updates to the Frequently Asked Questions. If you have a question you would like added to the website, please email us here.
