SACE Change Network Capabilities
A project focused on identifying the capabilities students are entitled to develop to thrive, and how they can be assessed.
What did we do?
- School leaders from the SACE Change Network, SACE staff, and a newly formed Tertiary Advisory Group (TAG) worked on two key areas:
- Prepared for stage 2 validation of the Personal Enterprise Assessment framework with Melbourne University's Assessment Research Centre (ARC) and the school community.
- Began the identification of highly valued behaviours and capabilities required for SACE graduates to thrive in their chosen post school pathways.
What did we learn?
- Content knowledge and capabilities are both valuable and should be required to capture a holistic view of student achievement.
- Stakeholders connected with the purpose and message underpinning the Capabilities project and methodology used to build the capability frameworks, and deeply value being part of the process and contributing.
- Some early risks identified were escalated, such as workload, which remains a key concern.
So what?
- Validation of Personal Enterprise capability to commence.
- Develop a method to synthesise and refine the valued behaviours identified by the community.
- Explore the implications of capability assessment; specifically in respect to teacher workload, task design and the validity and reliability of judgements.
