Flexi Assessments in action: User scenarios
Flexi Assessments empower educators to create individualised learning trajectories and acquire more nuanced data regarding student learning and growth. We've outlined the ways they can be applied from real scenarios of Essential Assessment users below.
Interleaving scope and sequence with multistrand assessments
Scenario: You have implemented an interleaving scope and sequence in your teaching, ensuring students revisit and reinforce key concepts over time. You need data before and after instruction to track progress on specific content descriptions across multiple strands:
| Code | Content Descriptor |
|---|---|
| AC9M4N06 | I can multiply 2-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers using a written algorithm |
| AC9M4ST03 | I can write survey questions, collect categorical data and represent the results of a survey using a data table and column graph with a non-unit scale |
| AC9M4ST01 | I can interpret and answer questions about the data displayed in column graphs including those with a non-unit scale |
| AC9M4P02 | I can conduct a chance experiment involving rolling a dice |
| AC9M4P02 | I can display the results of the dice chance experiment using a table and a column graph and explain why the results differ from a predicted outcome |
| AC9M4N08 | I can use bar modelling to find fraction of a quantity |
| AC9M4M01 | I can measure, compare, and order capacities in mL using a measuring jug |
| AC9M4M01 | I can measure, compare, and order capacities in L and mL using a measuring jug |
| AC9M4N08 | I can use bar modelling to find the whole associated with a given fraction and quantity |
Flexi assessments allow you to create custom assessments that include content descriptions from different strands:
You'll be able to align this specifically, to then gather pre- and post-assessment data aligned to the curriculum, enabling targeted instruction.
Finding success in targeted groups
Scenario: You work with a targeted group of students, such as intervention or extension groups, and need to track progress against specific content descriptor codes to measure success and adjust instruction accordingly.
Flexi assessments enables the selection of specific content descriptors, ensuring assessments align with students' learning goals.
This allows tracking of individualised learning progress, ensuring targeted support. It also supports data collection for evidence-based differentiation and reporting.
Building assessment capability with smaller assessments for foundation/prep students
Scenario: You teach foundation/prep students and need to scaffold their assessment experience by offering smaller, focused assessments to build confidence and engagement.
Flexi assessments allow you to create shorter, targeted assessments tailored to young learners' needs. This helps students develop assessment stamina progressively without overwhelming them.
You can ensure the assessment length stays low on the right hand side.
This provides clear insights into early learning progress, helping to guide next steps while students become accustomed to using Essential Assessment.
