The project
This ARC Linkage project will employ a sequential phase mixed-methods waitlist design in three Partner schools to test:
(1) whether accessible summative assessment task design leads to improved student outcomes with a focus on those with language and attentional difficulties;
(2) whether enhancing teachers’ inclusive practice improves student access to formative assessment pedagogies, enabling more accurate student understanding of assessment aims and requirements; and
(3) how improvements in summative assessment task design and teacher practice can be sustained and upscaled across departments
