National assessment programs help improve education outcomes, a leading Australian educator says.
University of Western Australia Dean of Education, Professor Helen Wildy, said that when teachers used comparable information on student achievement they were able to improve teaching, learning and school management.
Prof Wildy praised the federal government's National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) and the WA Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (WALNA).
