Another milestone for E-ACT Art leaders today as they critically evaluated the learning and assessment data gleaned from their 2000-item adaptive comparative judgement trial. Peter Davies is facilitating an excellent session today, gathering validity evidence from the Art specialists. Victoria Merrick took the discussion a step further having collaborated with Edwards Data Solutions Limited to present meaningful data visualisations that allowed teachers to see how each of their pupils was performing in that Art assessment compared to their Trust sample. What did the subject leaders say? “Having seen the data and interrogated it at trust, school, class and pupil level, it’s starting to make sense!’ “This is brilliant! We’ve never had this quality of reliable data. I can see how I’d use this to identify professional development needs in my department” 👉🏻Want to keep up with developments? 👉🏻Thinking of exploring ACJ in your setting?
