Collation 185 p. [PDF]
Summary Note "The overall evaluation and assessment framework appears as highly sophisticated and well conceptualised, especially at its top level (national and systemic levels). However, there is a less clear articulation of ways for the national agenda to generate improvements in classroom practice through the assessment and evaluation procedures which are closer to the place of learning. Moreover, striking the right balance between nationally-dictated policies and ability to meet local needs is a challenge and there is room to improve the integration of the non-governmental sector ... The process of developing an effective evaluation and assessment framework should give due attention to: achieving proper articulation between the different evaluation components (e.g. school evaluation and teacher appraisal); warranting the several elements within an evaluation component are sufficiently linked (e.g. teaching standards and teacher appraisal); and ensuring processes are in place to guarantee the consistent application of evaluation and assessment procedures (e.g. consistency of teachers’ grades) ... There are clear standard frameworks both for reporting key performance measures and for general government sector reporting, and a strong and stable set of national measures on education is established. Similarly, there are strong procedures for system monitoring at the state and territory level. The immediate priority for meeting information needs to adequately monitor progress towards national goals is to strengthen the information systems regarding student socio-economic and Indigenous status. In addition, states and territories should maintain efforts to strengthen monitoring structures, in part by further exploiting the analysis of results from local information systems and the national monitoring system, and importantly by ensuring adequate monitoring and follow-up on priority areas. Another area of priority should be to support and promote greater monitoring in the non-government sector." - Excerpts from "Executive summary" (p. 9-11).
