Assessment

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) is proud to support Victoria Police in modernising its recruitment process with the introduction of secure, at-home online testing — a major step toward getting more recruits on the beat faster.

In the formative early years of schooling, assessment plays a vital role in helping educators guide each child’s learning. But for young children it can be difficult to capture an accurate picture of what they truly know and can do.

At its core, differentiation is recognising that students are at different points in their learning and responding accordingly. In a recent webinar, ACER education consultant Marc Kralj described what differentiation looks like in the classroom and demonstrated how PAT data can be used to inform teaching strategies.

Australian 15-year-olds across 788 schools are contributing to one of the world’s largest evaluations of how students apply knowledge in real-world situations.

Delegates from 45 countries have been collaborating in Melbourne at the third meeting of National Research Coordinators (NRC) for the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2027 cycle.
