Research Conference 2009

Assessment and Student Learning:
Collecting, interpreting and using data to inform teaching

16-18 August 2009,
Perth Convention &
Exhibition Centre,
Western Australia

ACER’s fourteenth annual research conference will take place in Perth, WA from 16-18 August 2009 at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This conference will explore the information that can be gained from quality classroom and system wide assessment and how effective teachers use that information to guide their teaching.

It is recognised that quality assessments are an integral part of good teaching. Highly effective teachers have been identified as those teachers who use assessments of student learning to:

  • identify starting points for teaching;
  • diagnose errors and misunderstandings;
  • provide feedback to guide student action;
  • evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching; and
  • monitor individual progress over time.
