Description
This study lays bare Australian educator’s perspectives of NAPLAN testing and its unintended effects on schooling and student well-being.
The report draws on the experience of over 8,300 teachers and principals across the country, surveyed at the time of the NAPLAN testing in mid-May, 2012. It probes the impact of NAPLAN on testing, pedagogy and curriculum practice as well as the more difficult (and largely ignored) question of the impact on students’ health and well-being.
