Understanding PAT
Workshop details:
Workshop date: Thursday 28.11.2024
Workshop time: 9 am - 3 pm
Workshop location: Online via zoom - please note that registrants will receive login details one week prior to the workshop
This workshop is designed for educators who want to develop their knowledge and understanding of PAT and the Progressive Achievement approach. It provides an overview of PAT implementation in the Maths and Reading domains, from accessing student data to identifying students' next steps in their learning, in a range of school environments.
In this highly practical workshop, you will learn how to effectively analyse student assessment data to determine their understanding of key skills and concepts and identify their teaching and learning needs. It is highly recommended that you arrange access to the data in your school’s online account for use in this session to make the learning as relevant and realistic as possible.
Every step of the PAT assessment process will be covered, from tutorials and investigation tasks demonstrating how to access student data, to case studies illustrating simple reporting and data interrogation methods that will help you link data with teaching practice.
The evidence-based, holistic Progressive Achievement approach helps educators monitor student growth and target teaching where it is needed most, and Understanding PAT will show you how to get the most from your PAT data.
Recommended prior learning:
No prior PAT professional learning is required. It is highly recommended that attendees organise access to the data in their school’s online account for this session.
Intended learning outcomes:
Participants will learn how to:
- better understand the Progressive Achievement approach
- effectively implement PAT
- interrogate PAT data through reports
- monitor student growth and use PAT to identify next steps in students' learning.
Intended audience:
Aimed at educators keen to develop and further their knowledge and understanding of PAT, ideally those responsible for administering or reporting on PAT assessments, or for implementing teaching and learning strategies informed by assessment results.
Note:
All ACER events will operate under ACER’s COVID-19 Safe plan.
