| Subject: Whatever the OZschwitz statists touch, turns to shit: shifting away from emphasis on NAPLAN Mon Apr 30, 2018 7:43 pm | |
| Gonski 2.0 is the strongest signal yet that the days of NAPLAN in its current form are numbered. After more than a decade of NAPLAN and the MySchool website there is no evidence that it has led to any improvement in Australian education. In fact, there are lots of arguments to say it has made matters worse.
It’s a welcome shift away from the purpose expressed when NAPLAN and the MySchool website were set up. The theory was that school improvement would naturally occur by publicly comparing schools. As Education Minister Julia Gillard said at the time: "We can learn [by] comparing like-schools with like-schools and then measuring the differences in school results in order to spread best practice.”
That approach hasn’t worked and a return to focusing on individual student improvement through a focus and investment in quality teaching will be largely welcomed by the education community
