On Entry Assessment Training 2018

Deborah Martin (AISWA)

14 November 2018

The teacher training for the On-entry Assessment Program is now available to schools who
have returned an Expression of Interest form to AISWA.

Teachers will need to bring along laptops for these sessions to log onto the Department of
Education website.
The On-entry Assessment program is an assessment for learning, rather than an assessment
of learning. It enables teachers to develop an authentic understanding of a child’s current
capabilities and needs.

The purpose of the assessment:

• To provide the classroom teacher with information about the skills and understandings that
their students bring to compulsory schooling

• To identify, early in the school year, students who may require intervention, consolidation or
extension

• To inform the planning and delivery of targeted programs, reflective of each child’s needs
and capabilities

The information is also expected to assist in the development of intentional teaching for play-
based programs reflective of student needs.
