NOTE: The original version of this RFP was accidentally cancelled within GETS. This is the version that must be used.
e-asTTle is a world leading tool that supports the concept that formative assessment is a critical part of the learning and teaching process and not just a summative record of progress for the purpose of accountability.
Developed by the Ministry of Education in 2002, e-asTTle has supported New Zealand teachers in primary and secondary schools, as an assessment and learning tool used to help schools to create and analyse literacy and numeracy. Tests are available for reading, maths, pāngarau, pānui and tuhituhi for years five to ten and curriculum levels two to six. Writing tests are available for years one to ten.
The tool supports assessment as an integral part of the learning and teaching process. It provides standardised indicators of achievement in reading, writing and maths. The tool gives individual students and their teacher formative data on each student’s strengths, weaknesses and progress. It then provides guidance on next steps for learning.
An estimated $4m to $8m investment is now required to return e-asTTle to a state where it is a modern assessment and teaching tool. The Ministry is seeking this investment from a suitable supplier(s) who the Ministry can work with over the next three years.
In return, the selected supplier(s) can explore revenue generation opportunities, which may include charging schools for e-asTTle tests, and use the e-asTTle intellectual property to develop a version of the tool to market internationally.
At the end of the contract term:
» The Ministry will retain the right to use e-asTTle for New Zealand schools in perpetuity
» The selected supplier(s) will retain the right to use the e-asTTle tool developed for overseas markets in perpetuity.
