CSPS Baseline Data and ‘On Track’ Benchmarks for Student Achievement

When determining a student’s overall growth and achievement during the course of a Semester we

utilise data from a number of sources to provide feedback both on a student’s performance at

National Standard but also their growth during this period of time.

In CSPS Baseline Data Collection the following sources of data are collected and utilised in

supporting judgements on student growth and identifying students who are below expected

standard, on track and above expected standard.

(Example taken from CSPS Assessment and Reporting Handbook, Sem 1 2017)

The following tables provide a guide to some sources of information that teachers could consult

when determining the progress made by a student and the growth within English, during the period

of a Semester. This should also be aligned with the classification of evidence which can be used to

make a judgement in the ELFs@ CSPS policy.

the product of all data from 2013,

2014 and 2015 sets included to

generate an established school

alongside PLPs when developing

targets for students in term 1.

ACER PAT Maths Assessment

Please see the information (pages following) on the interpretation and use of scores arising from

PAT Maths assessment. The assessments are used across the school form Years 1-6 and

administered online with results generated through assessments undertaken in both Semester 1 and

2.
