In an increasingly-data filled world, how do you know what to focus on to inform teaching?  

In this insightful episode, Education Consultant Marc Kralj delves deep into a practical and research-informed discussion on assessment with Dr Jarrod Hingston, Director of School and Early Childhood Education Services. Together they unpack types of evidence, what makes an assessment effective, the future of assessment, and why it is important to ensure educators are reliably measuring learning growth.
