Professional learning: Models

Subject-focused development

Quality assessment practice in a curriculum area involves an analysis of curriculum requirements, and of teachers' understanding of the progressions and "signposts" for achievement. The process can be used to:

  • evaluate teachers' understanding of content;
  • develop learning outcomes;
  • design a range of teaching and learning activities.

Teachers evaluate planning templates, and decide on standards for monitoring student achievement and progress. Assessment tasks can be explored to help teachers understand learning progression and formative strategies such as goal-setting, use of exemplars, and achievement-focused feedback.

These strategies can be trialled in a learning area to build teachers' knowledge of the subject.
