It showcases work under way to assess a broader range of skills and capabilities and to design more holistic high school credentials. We will look at examples from contexts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. Participants will be introduced to a set of principles for interrogating assessment designs, in particular assessment that will be used for high-stakes credentialing purposes.
