Educational Measurement and School Accountability (EMSAD) Focus Learning Areas - Implications The students’ results related to key learning areas are/are not consistent with our in-school assessments. The content of our stage/faculty program needs to be evaluated in relation to the following key learning areas:
46. Educational Measurement and School Accountability (EMSAD) Reading Skills The students’ results in relation to literacy skills are/are not consistent with our in-school assessments. Teaching strategies and classroom practice need to be evaluated in relation to the following:

49. Use NAPLAN stimulus magazine as a teaching resource, identify areas of student interest
Session overview– the intention is to discuss with you some ideas on how to you can utilise SMART data for your unique school contexts. How we should connect the data with other indicators of a school’s success.
We would argue that the purposes identified here cover the ways that external test data are used within and across schools.We can use these to consider how best to focus our efforts to understand and utilise external data, including how we might use it in conjunction with other evidence sources to identify ‘the most effective ways to promote our schools and “get the messageout there”.’
This slide signals a simulation activity that utilises the free Google SketchUpsoftware as a lead into the EMSAD data analysis maxims!
The strong recommendation is that school principals and executive know their data well – be able to highlight areas of strength and areas for improvement with global and specific examples AND in relation to their school context (i.e., bg of students, their needs; school community factors, including ICSEA) Thus we need to know the analyses available in SMART well
The data isconnected (all from the same set of results) – just as for the sides of the lounge chair -
Highlight student survey, much of which is applicable to all KLAs
To illustrate the recommendation – taking a closer look at the NAPLAN assessment framework and scales
. . . “Knowing” the connections between individual performances, means and PIBs . . . and
. . . “Knowing” the connections between individual performances, means and PIBs . . . and
. . . connecting that to the standards of the NAPLAN assessment framework helps to focus attention on teaching and learning. [This slide for the structural overview - Next slide for the detail]
Focus attention on second sentence of the intro and its implications. Will enable staff,parents and community to interpret how students are performing!
Signal to explore some issues in the live SMART site, especially:The standards reference nature of school means – potential for monitoring, reporting and target settingImportance of SSG comparisonsThe characteristics of the NAPLAN scales for “student growth” and “Expected growth”; and its connection to school growth
The need to be able to relate NAPLAN to other internal and external data sources
Valuing school based assessment
Valuing school based assessment and ………
The value of connecting to the external test data
A summary of some issue explored.
This to challenge school leaders to explore how they can utilise a broader set of data and evidence for school planning and reporting.
