Breadcrumb Positioning

Unit description

This unit will examine and apply theory to evaluate curriculum, teaching programs and student learning. Students will build an understanding of the practical application of strategies for evaluating and improving student learning. A range of assessment strategies will be investigated, including assessing student learning through diagnostic, formative (including peer and self-assessment) and summative assessment to inform teaching practice. Students will examine strategies for providing timely and appropriate feedback to students about their learning and strategies for reporting to parents and carers. The unit explores approaches for keeping accurate and reliable records for reporting on student achievement.

Unit content

• Understanding and critically examining assessment and feedback principles, policies, purposes and research. • Investigation of various philosophic psychological and sociological perspectives which provide frameworks for curriculum construction and assessment; • Familiarisation with a wide variety of forms of assessment, evaluation and reporting, and their role in interpreting and modifying curriculum for student learning and teaching practices; • Aligning learning intentions and curriculum objectives with success criteria and assessment approaches. • Building a repertoire of effective feedback, assessment, moderation and its application to support consistent and comparable judgements of student learning, and record keeping strategies. • Involving students actively in the process of learning through goal setting, metacognitive approaches, self and peer assessment. • Interpreting different types of data including student work samples and school based performance data in order to make informed, consistent judgments and suggest possible action plans. • Strategies for reporting to students and parents/carers and the purpose of keeping accurate and reliable records of student achievement.

Ref	Learning task	Assessment type	Weighting	Learning outcomes assessed
1	<p>Design a unit of work within an area of the curriculum in which data and evidence of student learning is collected and analysed throughout, to inform differentiated next-step teaching and learning. Resources to provide explicit feedback for students about their learning need to be included within the unit of work, as well as strategies to collect accurate and reliable records of student achievement. Unit of work is accompanied with an in-depth reflection of the connections between published theory/research and teaching practice to improve student learning, as manifested by the unit of work.</p>
2	<p>Group Report: As a group, moderate a selection of student work samples. Report on how moderation procedures have been applied to support consistent and comparable judgements of student learning. Individual portfolio: Present a collection of annotated student work that provides evidence/data of student learning for a range of purposes including: (1) formative approaches to provide a) student with appropriate feedback and b) modify teaching practice; (2) summative approaches to assess and evaluate student learning; and (3) reporting student achievement to parents/carers.</p>
