Accessible Assessment Forum: Improving outcomes for students and teachers

Student achievement in assessment is presumed to be an outcome of academic ability and the quality of classroom teaching. But what if it isn’t that simple? What if students’ assessment outcomes are impacted by the accessibility of summative assessment task sheets? And what if there were some simple things schools could do to make assessment easier for students to understand and for teachers to teach? Well, now there are! In this interactive forum, you will be introduced to world-leading research that significantly improved the summative assessment experiences and outcomes for both students and teachers. On the day, you will hear from the researchers and educators who made this research happen. You will also have opportunities to testdrive the Accessibility Design Principles on your own assessment task sheet, and to attend the launch of our long-awaited “accessibility playbook”, Accessible Assessment and Pedagogies: Improving student outcomes through inclusive practice.
