About

Participants in New Metrics work together on solutions to the big challenges that face Australian education, industry and partner schools. These challenges vary but often stem from the traditional organisation of learning, which includes:

  • curriculum devised around discipline content areas;
  • reliance on summative examinations to gauge success;
  • use of standardised testing in narrow areas of attainment to determine overall success; and
  • timetables organised around short time periods of instruction provided principally by subject experts.

The work of New Metrics involves:

Align

Promoting alignment of policy and system reward is influencing the development of new ideas about metrics for success for learners, schools and systems.

Grow

Building the capacity and reputation of participants as innovative and progressive leaders.

Support

Accessing University technology and researchers to support the generation, collation and analysis of school-based data.

Promote

Schools working with the University to develop and publish case studies that promote the program and the schools’ innovations.

Educate
