Resources

The University is continually updating and advancing support resources for partner schools.

New Metrics has developed resource kits to support the assessment and recognition of a range of complex competencies. These resource kits are designed to be used in conjunction with the University's assessment platform to assess a learner's level of attainment and growth in an area of competence. New Metrics resource kits contain:

  • competence definitions
  • breakdowns of 'elements' of competence
  • sample learning progressions
  • sample indicative behaviours
  • guidance on designing opportunities for evidence collection

Sample resources

Please find here a sample resource kit for Agency in Learning and a compilation of some ‘taster’ resources for additional competencies, including:

  • Acting Ethically
  • Active Citizenship
  • Agency in Learning
  • Collaboration
  • Communication
  • Personal Development
  • Quality Thinking

Complex competency elements

More than a mark: how to measure learning success without ranks and tests

On 20 September 2022, MGSE Dean's Lecture Series invited Professor Sandra Milligan to explain new ways of assessing and credentialing, along with what they mean for learners, their teachers, employers and tertiary selectors.  Professor Milligan amplified the New Metrics work by paying homage to the New Metrics research-practice partnership schools and the big challenge that they are tackling.

Introductory webinar

In 2020, schools that had expressed an interest were invited to an introductory webinar in October with Enterprise Professor Sandra Milligan, Professor Yong Zhao and Laureate Professor John Hattie.
