Something feels gravely dogmatic and intuitively ‘off’ about the science of learning agenda that’s being pushed by governments and by others on social media, @3dancingfeet has argued.

@tvanderark @Getting_Smart ‘It gives a clearer picture of what students know and can actually do.’ 👏@tvanderark an addition to listed next steps for systems and leaders includes the use of validated, research-based, comparable assessments (so that credentials have value and meaning beyond any one school).

[Angela Pollock @AngelaPollock99]

‘…mass standardised testing is a flawed approach to measuring educational growth and success.’

Indeed.

[The Educator @TheEducatorAU]

As debates around standardised testing continue, questions arise over whether NAPLAN is still fulfilling its intended role. Experts weigh in on its effectiveness and future in Australian education.

[Angela Pollock @AngelaPollock99]

@tomhowardau It helps if their schooling experience deliberately and strategically honours students’ agency in learning i.e., is a fertile ground for them to become producers of their own learning rather than just consumers of teaching.

[Murat Dizdar @dizdarm]

Five Islands Secondary College, Liverpool Boys HS, Morisset HS & @SouthSydneyHigh students achieve great outcomes through Big Picture. Our students are supported by their teachers to study a personalised learning plan that sets them up for success in further study & employment.

@adam_voigt @7NewsMelbourne Fab! Think your message of calmness and wellbeing around exam time hit a great note.

[Melbourne Metrics @MelbMetrics]

No ATAR, no worries: The students finding success without an admission rank. From @BigPic_EducAust to #MatchingforSuccess, we are working with various partners and education authorities to research a 'post-ATAR method of university selection'. https://t.co/plU4CDMTjd
