5.4.7 Depth and Complexity in Gifted Students: Understanding and Simplifying Differentiated Assessment
The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), notes in its student diversity literature that “Gifted and talented students are entitled to rigorous, relevant and engaging learning opportunities drawn from the Australian Curriculum and aligned with their individual learning needs, strengths, interests, and goals.” Students world-wide, whose readiness-to-learn necessitates a more complex and rigorous curriculum, also require differentiated assessment aligned with their level of instruction. This presentation will detail the connection between pre-testing, curriculum delivery and assessment for gifted students, and provide practical resources and examples for differentiating formative and summative assessment through direct and indirect measures.
