Content
This unit embeds the initial components of the Deakin Teaching Performance Assessment and related tasks to focus on the functions and roles of assessment in the process of student learning and how it may be used to inform inclusive teaching practices. The unit will examine the complexity of assessment from multiple contexts such as international and national testing as well as specific classroom practices. Preservice teachers will review, refine and develop their knowledge and skills associated with being an assessment literate teacher, which will include, for example, to: critically reflect on the purposes and roles of diverse assessment strategies and their impacts on student learning processes as well as their influence on curriculum and pedagogical practices; understand how to record and represent students' assessment data; analyse and interpret diverse assessment data and how it informs learning and teaching; provide and analyse feedback on student learning; examine how to engage in classroom assessment practices in order to make consistent and comparable judgements of students' assessment tasks and the place of reporting in student learning. Students will commence development on a professional portfolio to curate artefacts and evidence of achievement against the Australian Professional Standards for Graduate Teachers and conduct a self-audit of areas to be further developed. Strategies to achieve this will be identified through collegial, professional conversations. Drawing upon professional experience placements undertaken in the final year of studies, students will complete the first three components of their Teaching Performance Assessment task as a critical reflection of practice in the processes of contextualising learning and teaching, planning and teaching to support student learning.
