Best Place to Work
The New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) is one of the top
ten workplaces in the small to medium workplace category in the JRA Best Workplaces Awards
2009.
“The
JRA survey results told us staff like the fact that NZCER’s values are clear.
They are committed to those values and they work really hard to be effective in
their jobs and in the ways they work together in teams.”
Robyn Baker,
Director NZCER
Media release: NZCER makes top ten in JRA Best
Workplaces Awards 2009
The feature section in this issue of set has
articles on what happens when students have a hand in deciding what they do at
school. When they chose their own science topic to study or led health
initiatives at school, students were empowered and engaged. Plus there are
articles on how Maori students' prereading skills can be overlooked, making the
transition from early childhood education to school and a new take on assessment
in science.
