5. 4 Interpret student data
Demonstrate the capacity to interpret student assessment data to evaluate student learning and modify teaching practice.
Demonstrate the capacity to interpret student assessment data to evaluate student learning and modify teaching practice.
In the below example, several students used the word "like" incorrectly, showing that they did not yet understand the use of the word like as a comparison. The example on the right also shows some misunderstanding when using words to make complex sentences. These assessments are used to predict future lesson planning and revision.

5.5 Report on student achievement.
Demonstrate understanding of strategies for reporting to students and parents/carers and the purpose of keeping accurate and reliable records of student achievement.
Tests can be sent home and signed, projects, classwork, visual displays, class worksheets, Naplan, WA government testing and homework. All assessment items must be marked and returned to students with feedback. Accurate records must be kept by the classroom teacher as evidence or clarification required by parents. The records also record student progress as required by individual schools and the Department of Education. They provide evidence to parents and other relevant parties and are a very important record of the teaching and learning cycle.
