Are you interested in helping CESE understand how new assessment tools for students with disability can work together to make one inclusive system? Please email us at assessmentforcomplexlearners@det.nsw.edu.au to express interest in a new trial in Term 2.  

In Term 2, the Assessment for Complex Learners project in collaboration with the University of Melbourne will conduct a trial to understand how 3 assessment tools for students with disability link together:  

• Students With Additional Needs (SWANs)  
• Passport for learning 
• Literacy and Numeracy Precursor Indicators.

Findings from this trial will support educators to make decisions on which assessment tool to use for their students, as well as research how data from the 3 tools can be used to inform school and department decision-making. This will help educators and the department to create one holistic, inclusive system of formative assessment that can support all students, no matter their ability or disability.
