Quick Navigation

Overview

Assessment, feedback and reporting are important standards for teachers' professional practice, and are high on political and professional agendas. In order for current pre-service teachers to graduate they must display evidence of achieving AITSL Standard 5: Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning. This new title, Assessment, Feedback and Reporting: A Guide to Increasing Student Learning provides students with the necessary strategies and skills to achieve this standard of professional practice using the following key features:

- Authentic practical strategies for assessment and reporting with suggested classroom activities and assessment examples, and vignettes of real-world situations

- Guidelines on how to achieve AITSL standard 5 requirements with activities that build a portfolio of evidence of professional practice in both the text and instructor resources

- Connecting with the local community, illustrating how to deal with reporting to parents which is a challenging prospect for pre-service teachers

Referencing both the Early Years Learning Framework and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, Assessment, Feedback and Reporting is an indispensable resource for pre-service teachers of all teaching levels – from early childhood education and care, through primary and secondary.
