Excellent progress
for every student
Join leading thinkers from around the world to explore innovations in teaching practice, assessment and more, all designed to help every student make excellent progress. Five days, fully online. Join us live or watch recordings on demand.
The challenge
- Students are at different points in their learning and have different learning needs
- School structures and processes result in some students’ learning needs not being identified and met
- Make sure every student is engaged and making good progress
The solution
- A curriculum structure based on evidence of how essential knowledge, skills and understandings typically develop
- Valuing teachers’ understandings of the nature of progress and how instruction influences learning
- Assessments of current attainment and long-term learning progress used to inform decision making

Masterclass: Learning Progressions
The half-day online masterclass will work with the latest iteration of ACER’s learning progressions for reading and mathematics. Participants will review the theoretical background and development of the learning progressions, and explore how they can be used to measure attainment and monitor growth, to plan lessons, and to provide useful feedback to students and parents.
This ACER online masterclass is mapped to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
