In 2021 ERO invited 75 schools to work with us in a research and development model to enable feedback and progression of a bespoke approach to evaluation. You can find the list of these schools towards the bottom of the page.
At that time the approach was referred to as “the new approach” or “our new operating model”, and these pilot schools and stakeholder groups were integral to helping us develop this model to where it is today; Te Ara Huarau.
As of March 2022, nearly half of eligible schools have engaged with ERO as part of Te Ara Huarau. This represents just over 1100 schools across Aotearoa.
ERO continues to welcome feedback from schools and sector stakeholder groups to strengthen the approach.
ERO aims to bring the remaining schools into Te Ara Huarau through 2022 and into the early part of 2023. Te Ara Huarau will then be the way we work together to evaluate schools.
