Standard setting is a critical part of educational, licensing, and certification testing. It is the methodology used to define levels of achievement or proficiency and the cut scores corresponding to those levels. It is not simply a methodological procedure but rather an opportunity to incorporate educational policy into a state’s assessment system based on learning evidence. This workshop is beneficial for policymakers, test developers, measurement specialists and lecturers of educational evaluation and assessment.

This workshop aims to demonstrate how the modelling of growth can be done simultaneously within the IRT framework to produce both valid and reliable measures as well as estimates of initial ability and growth over time. Two different approaches to modelling growth, including linear and non-linear growth, will be explored in this workshop. Both approaches offer the benefit of undertaking growth analysis within the framework of IRT and therefore allow analysts to use traditional IRT based statistics including measures of item-fit, and DIF between groups.

Individual performance is invariably dependent on factors like age, grade, gender, or learning background. Psychological and educational tests are often used to make important decisions and assess students' learning journey. Understanding continuous norming will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to navigate this powerful technique, transforming the understanding of individual performance and growth.

There are a large and increasing number of constructs (skills, attributes, characteristics, values, and dispositions) that are deemed important for students holistic development. There are also an ever-expanding range of theoretical frameworks that cluster and categorise these constructs into something meaningful in relation to different policies and practice. Rather than focusing on quantity, it is more manageable, sustainable, and realistic for education systems, and by proxy educators, to identify and focus on the essential skills that will have the highest impact on students learning. The essential skills of critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, self-regulation, and communication have been identified as essential to the development of student learning, able to be nurtured through intervention, and able to be understood in an observable way so as to be demonstrable through assessment.

This workshop will increase participants understanding of these essential skills and how they develop. Participants will see examples of assessments measuring the skills across a range of learning areas and contexts. They will have an opportunity to develop some hands-on experience of developing assessment items for their own context under the guidance of our ACER experts. Finally, participants will be provided with resources to support teacher observation and development of the skills in the classroom so they can assess and monitor growth.

In order for a large-scale or national assessment to achieve its desired outcomes, it needs to have the right content, and the development of this content needs to be managed properly. This one-day workshop provides invaluable insight and practical tips on managing test content for large-scale assessments; a big-picture overview on how to make the content development process run smoothly and efficiently.

Will be explored in this workshop:

• Using an assessment framework to guide test development
• Managing the development of cognitive instruments
• Managing the development of contextual instruments
• Ensuring the assessment is inclusive, accessible and fair
• Creating tools to support content developers
