In many schools, the report writing process begins several weeks \u2013 or even months \u2013 before reports are eventually released.<\/p>\n<p>This process has significant costs, including time spent away from teaching.<\/p>\n<p>For the past three years, the Australian Council for Educational Research has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acer.org\/au\/cari\">been investigating<\/a>\u00a0how effective parents, teachers and students consider report cards to be, and whether alternative designs might provide better information about student learning. We have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acer.org\/au\/cari\">analysed student reports<\/a>\u00a0and consulted students, parents, teachers and school leaders from several states.<\/p>\n<p>The final report of our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acer.org\/au\/cari\">Communicating Student Learning Progress<\/a>\u00a0project, out today, shows parents and teachers are dissatisfied with aspects of the way report cards communicate student achievement. For example, parents and teachers generally agree grades, such as the most commonly used A-E, don\u2019t sufficiently show student progress.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Grades are poor indicators of progress<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.au\/Details\/F2019C00086\">Australian Education Regulation 2013<\/a>\u00a0specifies schools must produce reports that give an accurate and objective assessment of the student\u2019s progress and achievement, including an assessment of the student\u2019s achievement:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>against any available national standards<\/li>\n<li>relative to the performance of the student\u2019s peers<\/li>\n<li>reported as A, B, C, D or E (or on an equivalent five-point scale) for each subject studied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our analysis showed that, with few exceptions, Australian schools tend only to report achievement using A-E grades (or similar). Students\u2019 learning progress is less-commonly communicated.<\/p>\n<p>Many parents said they wanted information from teachers clearly indicating their child\u2019s growth. Several said they would like to receive \u201ca report that shows growth from the last report\u201d or a report that \u201cincludes a line graph of a student\u2019s progress over the year\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Parents also wanted to better understand the significance of grades in relation to each other and to state or national standards. They wanted to know how grades compare across different classes, teachers, subjects and schools.<\/p>\n<p>One parent said: \u201cI don\u2019t understand the A-E scale\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Another asked<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>What does \u201cOutstanding\u201d, \u201cHigh\u201d, \u201cSound\u201d, \u201cBasic\u201d, \u201cLimited\u201d actually mean? Is \u201cOutstanding\u201d best in the class, or operating 12 months ahead of expected level?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Teachers also told us they were concerned about the inconsistency of standards for grades. One teacher said that at her school<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>[\u2026] grades are calculated on the cohort average: a 60% can be a C in one subject\/test but a 70% could be a D in another.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Grades alone can also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachermagazine.com.au\/columnists\/geoff-masters\/promoting-long-term-learning-progress\">mask progress<\/a>\u00a0and be demotivating for students. A student who receives a D each report might conclude they are making no progress at all. But they may actually have made more progress than a highly able student who continually receives an A but is not being stretched.<\/p>\n<p>One teacher we spoke with said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>A to E doesn\u2019t focus on growth, and students can sit on a D or E for years and their report doesn\u2019t demonstrate their growth or communicate their effort.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>The timing is off<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Australia\u2019s education\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.au\/Details\/F2019C00086\">legislation mandates reports must<\/a>\u00a0also be \u201creadily understandable\u201d and received by parents and carers \u201cat least twice a year\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of teacher comments we analysed generally avoided jargon and communicated in plain language. But parents and students told us they also appreciated comments that were personalised and explained both what a student has, and (crucially) has not yet, been able to demonstrate.<\/p>\n<p>They indicated they wanted comments to outline specific steps the student and parent should take to assist the student to progress. An example of this from a report we analysed is shown below.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Sarah demonstrated her clear understanding of how to structure an essay through the use of paragraphs, topic and linking sentences, and an introduction and conclusion. She wrote a meaningful and informative essay with strong relevant arguments [\u2026] A future goal for Sarah is to include more complex sentences, adding variance in sentence length to better engage the reader.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The timing of reports was an issue for parents too. Those who only received twice-yearly formal reports said they wanted more frequent information about their child\u2019s learning.<\/p>\n<p>Information in half-yearly reports is often outdated and can no longer be acted on, in most cases.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers frequently mentioned that the rush at the end of each semester to finalise assessments and begin writing reports is often out-of-step with the rhythms of their own curriculum and assessment cycles.<\/p>\n<p>One teacher said<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>We should not assess the students all at the same time \u2013 it\u2019s stressful for students. Different subjects have different assessment blocks and could report when they have information to report on.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Students also expressed feeling overwhelmed at these peak periods of assessment.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How can we do it better?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Formal reporting can have significant costs. We asked one principal to calculate the costs associated with report writing at his primary school, which has 14 classes and 345 students. He estimated the total cost per semester, in 2019, was just over A$99,000.<\/p>\n<p>His estimation included actual costs, as well as opportunity costs such as time spent by teachers writing reports before and after school, during lunch breaks, on weekends, and on holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Schools are more often using online student and learning management systems to serve a range of functions. Teachers can use these systems to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachermagazine.com.au\/articles\/continuous-student-reporting-the-next-step\">continuously report<\/a>\u00a0on student achievement throughout the school year. This provides parents and carers with information closer to each point of assessment, and often at little extra expense.<\/p>\n<p>A significant number of teachers we surveyed suggested continuous reporting adds to their workload. But most teachers emphatically agreed continuous reporting is more useful to parents and students than semester reports.<\/p>\n<p>Online continuous reporting has the potential trade-off of a reduced workload at the end of each semester, as semester reports can be generated automatically.<\/p>\n<p>As more and more schools adopt continuous reporting, and place greater emphasis on assessing and reporting learning growth, semester reports as we know them will either become redundant or will need to change.<\/p>\n<p>Our research suggests all forms of communication (semester reports, continuous reporting, parent-teacher interviews, student-led conferences, portfolios) should work together, as a system, to communicate a coherent picture of a child\u2019s achievement and progress.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Hilary Hollingsworth is a Principal Research Fellow and Jonathan Heard is a Research Fellow both at the Australian Council for Educational Research<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian teachers are in the thick of producing end-of-year reports.
