From 2024, Literacy and Numeracy are now both corequisites for the awarding of an NCEA Qualification at any level. Students need to achieve a 20-credit (10 literacy & 10 numeracy) co-requisite using the new literacy and numeracy standards. These standards are achieved by sitting 3 external common assessment activities (CAAs)- reading, writing and numeracy. The CAA's are digital-first online assessments that students sit using their BYOD device. Currently there are 2 assessment windows for the CAA's each year, schools are able to decide on the precise timings in each window. Students have a minimum of 60 minutes to complete each assessment. But they can take as long as they need provided the assessment is delivered in a single session.
To help prepare for the CAA's students should engage with these resources and check their device is ready for the assessment.
During 2023 Mr Tester ran a session on the new NCEA Level 1 curriculum and was accompanied by Mr Ardern and Mr Barr who delivered on numeracy and literacy and the CAA's. Use the chapters to shuttle to the sections of interest.
