Achievement Targets 2020

Setting effective targets and creating the conditions in which all students can excel will reduce these disparities.

Setting the target and then taking effective action requires good information, scrutiny, perseverance and an approach in which all parties – leaders, teachers, trustees, parents and whänau, and students – are active and committed. Underpinning this is an ongoing cycle of evaluation – schools scrutinise data, identify the target, take action, monitor the impact and make any necessary changes.
