Supporting Schools’ and Teachers’ Use of Assessment to Inform Learning of All Students (Using Assessment Data in Education Policy and Practice: Examples from the Asia-Pacific issue 5, December 2023) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Ursula Schwantner | Soumaya Maghnouj Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok | Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) In more than half of Asia-Pacific countries, a majority of learners in primary and secondary education do not have the required foundational skills. The fifth issue of the topical case studies series 'Using Assessment Data in Education Policy And Practice: Examples From The Asia-Pacific' under the Network for Education Quality Monitoring in Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), documents four promising practices from countries in the Asia-Pacific region on how education systems can better support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The goal of this support is to identify and meaningfully address every learner’s needs, so that every learner can learn successfully. The case studies look at a variety of levers that promote a better use of assessment for learning such as how to develop teachers’ assessment literacy and capacity to design, implement and use assessment to inform their classroom teaching and learning; how to improve the use of standardized assessment data to inform teaching and learning and how to rethink the organization of instruction to address the needs of all learners.
