Te Toi Tupu is an education focused PLD consortium made up of five partners:
Cognition, CORE Education, The University of
Waikato, Waikato-Tainui and NZCER.
NZCER & Te Wāhanga - evaluation www.tetoitupu.org

NZCER describes smart tools as
“thinking and learning tools that support transfer of knowledge.” Smart
Tools generate feedback that allows their users to:
• inquire into their own and others’ practice; lead change,
• analyse and respond to data sets,
• think smarter and therefore act more effectively; and
• evaluate, monitor and assess. www.tetoitupu.org
