30 A risk of a narrowed curriculum? Preparing students for tests Ensuring familiarity is important Practice beyond that yields little Full curriculum to improve literacy and numeracy Literacy developed in English, history, the arts Numeracy developed in mathematics, science Broadening the literacy and numeracy tests Test a broader range of content and skills Have different students take different tests Report all students performances on common scales Monitor other areas with sample-based NAP Chart our national progress 30
31 31
32 Enhanced information on schools Additional subpopulations identified LBOTE and special needs in addition to Indigenous Better data on senior secondary outcomes VETiS (including school comment) and tertiary bound School resources Recurrent Commonwealth funding State/Territory funding Fees, charges and parental contributions Other sources Income allocated to capital projects Capital Commonwealth funding State/Territory funding New school loans Fee income allocated to capital projects 32
33 Improved reports on NAPLAN performance Graphical as well as tabular Combining information on magnitude (effect size) and statistical significance of differences Data on student progress as well as current status Restricted to students in same school in 2008 and 2010 No report on Yr 5 to Yr 7 in a 6+6 system Possibility of filtered displays With and without students with special needs With and without LBOTE students School s commentary on results 33
34 Improved measure of socio-economic advantage Direct measure rather than indirect CCD measure Removes risk of ecological fallacy introducing bias Potentially introduced other threats to validity Update complete home address data For cases where direct measures are not available Add variable to ICSEA calculation ICSEA 2009 ICSEA = SEA + I + R ISEA 2010 ISEA(?) = SEA + I + R + L I = indigenous R = remoteness L = interaction between LBOTE and SEA 34
35 Action to deter misuse of site Click-wrap agreement to accept terms of use Sign-in to prevent data scraping 35
36 Changes beyond 2010 Satisfaction with schooling Risks of response bias in two senses Expert group (including ABS) to advise Teaching staff expertise Linked to new certification/registration standards being developed and promulgated by AITSL With more to come, if there is a My School site Site won the e-government award in last night s Australian Information Industry Association Awards 36
