Read the key takeaways from our recent webinar focusing on the third phase of ACER’s Progressive Achievement approach: tracking progress and monitoring the growth of student achievement over time with the PAT suite.

Almost 40 years ago, ACER’s concept of what assessment could achieve was far ahead of the technology as work began on computer-adaptive testing (CAT).

ACER’s Director of School and Early Childhood Education Services, Dr Jarrod Hingston, profiled how ACER’s research and expertise has driven the development of the Progressive Achievement approach to measuring and improving students’ learning progress.

Our team has put together some suggestions for your test preparation to make sure you have a smooth testing session. We also provide guidance on how to prepare your team to use your PAT results productively.

The Social-Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) survey is a useful tool for schools to assess their students’ wellbeing to inform interventions, target resourcing and communicate to parents and the school community.

How can effective assessment support early years teachers in their practice? Dr Sandra Knowles will be presenting on this question and reviewing recent research into early years learning at ACER’s upcoming Research Conference.
