The purpose of the project was to establish a measurement scale to underpin and validate one key element outcome of The Essential Learnings Framework.  This purpose was addressed through the development of sufficient test items based on suitable stimulus materials for use in the calibration of the sets of standards described at Grades 2, 4, 6 and 10. The development of materials was undertaken in consultation with DoE officers to ensure alignment with The Essential Learnings Framework.

Expected Completion Date: 1 Feb- 29 Sept 2006
