5 yrs of New Metrics: future-focused research–practice partnership, community of schools, academics, system leaders & industry partners shaping potential 4 assessment. Thanks to partners for shared practice & testing ideas to build recognition of complex competencies #NewMetrics

Very excited to partner with Australian Learning Lecture and @ASPALeaders to launch the Next Generation Learning Initiative this week in QLD and ACT. School staff and students come together to access professional learning, next-gen assessment tools, and create learner profiles.

Looking forward to opening the 2025 ACEL National Conference & taking part in a panel discussion with students. This year’s theme is Amplifying every voice. Find out more about the @acelaustralia conference, view the program & list of speakers. acel.org.au/ACELWEB/PL/202… #ACEL2025

Something feels gravely dogmatic and intuitively ‘off’ about the science of learning agenda that’s being pushed by governments and by others on social media, @3dancingfeet has argued. educationhq.com/news/teacher-e…

@tvanderark @Getting_Smart ‘It gives a clearer picture of what students know and can actually do.’ 👏@tvanderark an addition to listed next steps for systems and leaders includes the use of validated, research-based, comparable assessments (so that credentials have value and meaning beyond any one school).

‘…mass standardised testing is a flawed approach to measuring educational growth and success.’ Indeed. #newmetrics @MelbMetrics

@tomhowardau It helps if their schooling experience deliberately and strategically honours students’ agency in learning i.e., is a fertile ground for them to become producers of their own learning rather than just consumers of teaching.

Five Islands Secondary College, Liverpool Boys HS, Morisset HS & @SouthSydneyHigh students achieve great outcomes through Big Picture. Our students are supported by their teachers to study a personalised learning plan that sets them up for success in further study & employment.

@adam_voigt @7NewsMelbourne Fab! Think your message of calmness and wellbeing around exam time hit a great note.

@AngelaPollock99 @7NewsMelbourne 😂😂 Just saw this Angela. And I got a mention of this important work in anyway!

I’ll be on @7NewsMelbourne around 4.35pm today discussing the start of the Year 12 exams across Australia. 📺

No ATAR, no worries: The students finding success without an admission rank. From @BigPic_EducAust to #MatchingforSuccess, we are working with various partners and education authorities to research a 'post-ATAR method of university selection'. smh.com.au/national/victo…

Great to have an opportunity to talk about our broad program of work ⬇️ #newmetrics
