Using data to understand where students are in their learning
Helping every student demonstrate learning progress
A student who receives a 'D' grade every year may believe they are making no progress at all when, in reality, they may be progressing as much as a student who consistently receives an 'A’ grade.
Scales: a powerful way to describe learning progress
- Progressive Achievement scales detail the skills, knowledge and understanding typical at various points in the learning process in a domain – a roadmap for describing and measuring student progress.
- ACER has mapped scales for learning progression in several domains, including reading and mathematics.
