Very excited to welcome the School Improvement Tool into the world! Great team effort at @acereduau and good to see a stronger focus throughout the tool on several areas including inclusion. acer.org/au/discover/article…
"ACER and Catholic Schools NSW have identified strategies that contribute to inclusive learning experiences of students with disability during remote learning as well as upon returning to the physical classroom." New publication on ACER's Discover page: acer.org/au/discover/article…

We have launched our first open access course with @FutureLearn.
The new course, How to Use Data in Assessment for Learning, will be available for learners around the world who want to improve their understanding of assessment design and delivery.

After becoming a PhD in 2020 and a mother in 2021, I'm excited about yet another new beginning: my new role as a Research Fellow at @acereduau!

EXCLUSIVE: Analysis has revealed one in three teachers does not use NAPLAN data to improve learning, while 19 per cent of teachers are unable, or have difficulties, accessing the data at all. @susieob @byoliviajenkins bit.ly/37mdDpt

Qantas CEO Alan Joyce suggested the airline will require international travellers to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Pauline Hanson slammed that as "unacceptable", so there's a new airline starting up, founded by satirist @markhumphries & his co-writer @evanwilliams. #abc730

Signing a few more books today. They weren’t even our books - just any books that were lying around. Chased out of the shop shortly after these photos.

Very useful review study, stimulate to go beyond the Salamanca Statement from 1994 💪 inclusive education in the 21st century #InclusiveEducation #SalamancaStatement #ReviewCount #CRPD #GC4 #UNESCO
My first journal article, in collaboration with a wonderful group of #inclusionistas. Beyond Salamanca: a citation analysis of the CRPD/GC4 relative to the Salamanca Statement in inclusive and special education research. 50 free prints here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Finally! Helpful reinforcement from the Chair in showing the inconsistency #DisabilityRC
Lassig just said that he doesn't know why a EAP verification is needed. Finally a direct answer from Lassig at the #DisabilityRC. The Chair is now clarifying that Lassig understands that there is conflict with EAP and the Dept's policy to provide all reasonable adjustments
Marijne Medhurst retweeted
Dr Mellifont: "Do you know why the department gets teachers parents/people to get a verification" if under the Inclusive Education Policy this is not required for adjustments? #DisabilityRC
An inclusive approach to assessment is vital. In my PhD study I argue that inclusive assessment is grounded in principles of quality assessment as well as principles of inclusion. Assessment literacy of those in charge of assessment is key and enables inclusion. #DisabilityRC
Ambiguity around exam questions/instructions has been a barrier during exams. Probably unintentional, but people designing exams should be more aware of the issue. #DisabilityRC
Marijne Medhurst retweeted
@MScharnke describes that she was unable to access the reasonable adjustment (ability to type answers) she needed in assessments unless her father paid significant funds to access additional psych testing. This is one of the big barriers to #InclusiveEducation #DisabilityRC

#DisabilityRC @drpoed reminds us: many students with disability do not need the curriculum changed #DisabilityRoyalCommission #C4IE

#DisabilityRC Researchers at @C4IE_QUT have also developed fully online modules in #InclusiveEducation that teachers across Australia can undertake. This module covers educators obligations as per the #CPRD & the #DSE

There is a discrepancy between intended and enacted practices of deployment of teacher aides by classroom techers. Int'l research (including my PhD) shows that communication teacher-teacher aide is often absent and aides help where they can, on the spot. #DisabilityRC

#DisabilityRC Thank you Chair Sackville for pointing out the language of "deliberate" "aggression" & "violence" 2 characterise the actions of a 5-yr-old child on the autism spectrum, when children under 10 cannot be held criminally responsible & many argue that age should be 14
An interesting week coming up in the field of education in Australia.
