Educationreview

A new report is proposing a rethink on how educators approach senior schooling and tertiary education, and calls ­for the ATAR to be supplemented with a more comprehensive “learning profile”.The Australian Learning Lecture (ALL) position paper, titled Beyond ATAR: A Proposal for Change, is the culmination of more than a year’s work, with the input of several working groups, and a comprehensive mix of leading academics and education experts.In this podcast, ALL's founder, Ellen Koshland, talks about the key ideas behind the report and argues that out current system of 'single score' assessment is not fit for purpose and tells very little about a young person's talents, interests and potential.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
