An analysis of Year 3 and Year 5 Naplan Results 2021
NAPLAN assessments provide parents and schools with an understanding of how individual students are performing in terms of literacy and numeracy at the time of the tests. These tests form part of our assessment and reporting schedule but, given the results come out much later in the year, they cannot inform our next steps for teaching. NAPLAN provides schools, education authorities and governments with information about how education programs are working and whether young Australians are achieving important educational outcomes. They confirm the impact of our direction in terms of professional practice and they can provide school leaders with data that informs strategic priorities.
Maintaining a focus on each individual’s academic progress is the perspective we encourage at the classroom level. At a school level, it is beneficial to analyse the overall performance of our cohorts and to study the trends in our results over time. This year, with the benefit of adaptive technology, the ‘glass ceiling’ has been lifted and our highest performing students were able to show the extent of their capabilities. We can now see the results at a more granular level at the top where previously this would have appeared as though students were in the top of the expected ceiling for their year group only and not beyond. Though the top band at Year 3 level is Band 6, for example, schools can now see the number of students whose achievement extended into Bands 7, 8, 9 and 10.
