MODELLING SHARING GUIDING APPLYING
AaRT TeamDemonstrates and explains concepts of Assessment and Reporting. (Data Analysis, Assessment Design, Target Setting and Standards Validation/Moderation.)Achieves this by modelling these processes at Professional Development opportunities (not specific to context).
AaRT TeamContinues to demonstrate and invites teachers to contribute ideas and information to develop targets and focus. Predominately through school visits.Information targeted at school context and uses real student/school data.
AaRT TeamProvides scaffolds such as training notes, information on web site and remote support/visits to enable teachers/schools to perform previously modelled tasks.
AaRT TeamOffers support and encouragement as necessary.
Teacher Independently performs all assessment and reporting tasks required, throughout the year.
Teacher Identifies and recognises level of support required and uses support notes, AaRT and information to initiate assessment and reporting tasks.
Teacher Contributes ideas and begins to collaboratively develop targets and focus for assessment and reporting.
Teacher Actively attends to demonstrations.
Steps Professional Development 2005 (Adjusted to reflect AaRT, 2008)
The type of support offered to teachers/schools will vary according to their needs, capabilities and experience.Example: Semester One Reporting 2008: Urban schools predominately at Guiding/Applying.
Remote schools with high staff turn over are predominately at Modelling/Sharing.

Learning, quality assessment tasks, planning for assessment,
outcome-focused, common tasks, opening up assessment, authentic, rich and meaningful
tasks,

learn?•How will I check the learner’s
achievement of outcomes?
Evidence of
Learning
Assessment design, collection and validation
in preparation for moderation, monitoring, students achievement
and publishing, products of teaching and
learning
TL&S Delivery Agreement:•Align curriculum, pedagogy and assessment (CPA) policy frameworks.
Learning Management Question:•How will I check to see the
learner has achieved the learning outcomes?
•What evidence do I have at my disposal?
Test design, supporting schools in
implementation of testing programs,
professional learning opportunities
NAP

achievement of outcomes?
Moderation
Developing consistency of teacher judgement, building common understandings of the NTCF, including growth
within levels and bands, creating support materials and resources, facilitating school, cross school and system level moderation

Standards
Validation
Involving experts, validating teacher
judgement, publishing Evidence of Learning,
Identifying the essence of bands/levels in
NTCF

with standards?

Future …Direction…•Increased focus on Assessment Design
•Review Moderation process- set up systems where schools join with feeder schools and run sessions more regularly (in school and cross-school), build capability for schools to facilitate Moderation themselves
•Continued/Increased focus on Data Literacy
•Development of Assessment and Reporting
•Develop Standards of Performance for NTCF Renewal (including continued publication of validated samples)
•Continue with Regionalisation Model (AFL Team members in Arnhem, Central Region and Rivers)
Concerns…•High staff turnover in remote schools- teachers with capability leave so schools require more support
•ICT infrastructure still being developed in remote areas- some schools only now beginning to develop capability due to this
•Teachers new to the NT often lack an understanding of the NTCF and NT assessment and reporting practices
•Positions difficult to fill - impacts on current resources and the building of capability in schools in this region
•Increasing project briefs- non-negotiable Federal requirements (eg: National Testing & A-E reporting), stretching current resources
•No ET2 positions in AaRT 2009- lack of team permanency and continuity of projects
