Format: The Understanding PAT workshop will be facilitated online by ACER presenters. 

Date and Location: 

Overview

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 students' understanding of key skills and concepts, and identify their teaching and learning needs. We recommend that you arrange access to the data in your school’s online account to use in this session to make your learning as effective as possible.

Every step of the PAT assessment process is 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 participants organise access to the data in their school’s online account for this session.
