The Future of Education: Melbourne Metrics
The WA Melbourne Assessment Network meetings create the opportunity for WA school leaders and teachers involved in either a New Metrics Research Partnership or the Melbourne Assessment Community (MAC) to connect, share, and grow the valid assessment and recognition of complex competencies in their school communities.
This WA cross-sectoral network meets once a term and our ‘New Metrics in Action’ Term 3 meeting was held on Wednesday, 28 August. Thank you to John Wollaston Anglican Community School for hosting this terrific event for more than thirty people from a range of education sectors.
The meeting commenced with a ‘Spotlight session’ and mini-expo from John Wollaston, led by Rebecca Piccolo, Dean of Teaching and Learning, to showcase student learning design with teachers and students sharing their insights on projects developed across Learning Areas.
Celena Mecham, Head of Secondary (Teaching and Learning) from Swan Valley Anglican Community School, presented on ‘The Swan Valley Learner Profile and New Metrics in Action for 2024’. Robert Dodds, Coordinator of Innovation and Learning Technology from Methodist Ladies’ College, also shared the College’s New Metrics work to date.
In addition, we have established a WA Teams page for additional sharing and collaboration amongst the network. People remained well after the close of the meeting to share and discuss ideas, a clear sign that the collaboration and connection amongst this network is strong!
Be sure to save the date for our Term 4 WA Melbourne Assessment Network meeting on Wednesday, 23 October, which will be held from 2:00 pm at Methodist Ladies’ College. Invitations will be sent to the Project Leads in the WA Melbourne Assessment Network schools shortly.
Best wishes for a safe and relaxing holiday.
Ms Kathryn Paul
Director of Teaching and Learning
