Activating Learning Through Assessment:
It’s time for a new perspective
DR JANELLE WILLS May 26, 2018
Young Australians entering the workforce today might have as many as 5 different careers and make 17 changes in employers over their working lives.
Taking our skills from job to job is more likely to be the norm.
Multipotentialites …

Australia is undergoing the most significant disruption in the world of work since the industrial revolution, and how we respond has huge implications for the next generation.
(The Foundation for Young Australians, 2016)
We have been “breaking through the barriers of a 19th century schedule,
with a 20th century curriculum designed for 21st century learners...”

Implications for Change
The way we view content …
OECD REPORT
1. Separation between assessment practices and the daily work of teachers and students, from the curriculum and from the control of professionals in the local settings
2. Overemphasis on national standardiseddata
(OECD Country Report Australia, 2011)

Classroom assessment is the most powerful type of measurement in education that influences student learning.
(McMillan, 2013)
“… one of the most serious problems plaguing K-12 education: namely, a curriculum that is so bloated and cumbersome that is impossible for teachers to teach well and, therefore, difficult for students to learn efficiently. ”
(Marzano, 2017)

The content that should be addressed at each year level in each subject area is clearly defined.

PRIORITISE
Essentially, a guaranteed and viable curriculum is
one that can be taught in the time available and
is being taught in every classroom.

What are the criteria for priority?
“Priority” Standards
These are the standards you will spend additional time re-teaching to ensure students
understand them.

We need to move beyond traditional forms of assessment based on a belief that the role of teachers is to deliver the curriculum, the role of students is to learn and the role of assessment is simply to establish how much of what the teachers have taught, students have successfully learnt

A proficiency scale is an attempt to create a continuum that articulates distinct levels of knowledge and skill relative to a specific topic.
It can be thought of as a learning progression.
