About this event

Gaining a Better Understanding of Educational Measurement and How to Deliver Effective and Improved Assessment in the Classroom

The Importance of Using Formative Assessment in the Classroom

P4S5

The Balanced Scorecard for Schools program endorses formative assessment as one of the most important opportunities and processes to support effective teaching and learning. While recognising the importance of external and internal summative assessments in providing objective, end-of-period appraisals of student performance, formative assessment will be examined in detail to highlight its capacity to ensure ongoing learning, progressive monitoring, continuous feedback, and regular record-keeping. Formative assessment is the mode of assessment most closely attuned to the phenomenon of knowledge transfer and the paramount importance of prior knowledge for the acquisition of new knowledge. Participants will be introduced to the key component parts of quality formative assessment and invited to reflect on how they as teachers do, or might, effectively employ and prioritise formative assessment in their classes.

Peter is an internationally recognised and respected professional with over 40 years' experience in education. His practical knowledge and understanding of education began with 18 years in Victorian schools, where he taught a broad range of disciplines and held numerous school leadership roles. This direct involvement in schools at the commencement of his career has equipped Peter with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the dynamics of schools, teaching, learning and of students. Subsequently, Peter moved into education-based roles outside of the school setting, Peter has held a number of senior management roles in very significant programs and organizations internationally. These include: three positions as general manager; one as national manager; and four senior management roles. Peter has had overall management responsibility for the world's largest and most complex education assessment program - the Program for International Student Assessment or PISA. He has established national education programs in both Australia (NAPLAN) and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (NAP).

Peter has been intensely involved in the application of technology in education. He introduced, for example, the first large-scale on screen marking technology in Australia (Pearson's ePen) that went on to become the national standard for marking in the NAPLAN program - involving over 1 million students annually. He was also significantly involved in promoting the digital curriculum work of The Le@rning Federation at Education Services Australia that involved the generation of specialist digital content for schools, backed by $180m of state and commonwealth funding. Peter project directed the planning and development of the My School website in Australia commencing this work in 2009 and subsequently in 2013 the introduction of NAPLAN online assessment through its National Sample Assessment program. Peter also led for the first three years of its development, the NAPLAN online program. He has also been closely involved with the use of technology to support international programs including PISA.

Most recently, at the OECD, Peter has managed both the PISA and the PISA-based Test for Schools programs that have provided him with invaluable international experience. Peter's work at the OECD included leading the revitalization of the PISA 2018 assessment domain of Global Competence and exploring the dimensions and possibilities of what can be called the 'new metrics' - that attempt to evaluate performance of countries, schools and students in the 'non-traditional' domains of teaching and learning that are considered vital to students' ability to succeed in life and work in their post-school years.

Peter is very keen to further extend his experience, knowledge and skills through working collaboratively with colleagues internationally, in service of the educational advancement of students (especially those suffering disadvantage) and to support and lead the work of schools in evaluating and improving their performance. In 2018 Peter will be Global Project Director for the Balanced Scorecard for Schools (or BSFS) program in partnership with Marshall Cavendish Education, Singapore, as well as acting as an advisor to the Minister for Education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
