Description
On-entry Assessment Training – all modules. We welcome both, those schools who have newly registered to administer the On-entry assessment or those who have decided to take on the assessment in other year levels.
Teachers will need to bring along laptops for these sessions to log onto the Department of Education website.
The On-entry Assessment program is an assessment for learning, rather than an assessment of learning. It enables teachers to develop an authentic understanding of a child’s current capabilities and needs.
The purpose of the assessment:
• To provide the classroom teacher with information about the skills and understandings that their students bring to compulsory schooling
• To identify, early in the school year, students who may require intervention, consolidation or extension
• To inform the planning and delivery of targeted programs, reflective of each child’s needs and capabilities
The information is also expected to assist in the development of intentional teaching for play based programs reflective of student needs.
