For the past several years, Mount Isa School of the Air has been engaging in a community process of creating assessment literate learners in order to enable their teachers to prioritise the teaching of and learning of the Australian Curriculum. Drawing largely from evidence-based works by Fisher and Frey and Hattie, using the Gradual Release of Responsibility as a framework for teaching and learning, the school community have been working collegially towards a deep understanding of the assessment demands of the Curriculum into the classroom suite of materials.

Katherine School of the Air will be hosting an upcoming webinar. Join Sarah Dohl and Nick Lovering for the story of how KSA integrates rubrics into their whole school approach to student feedback.
