Your story on cheating allegations related to NAPLAN reminds us that the program tests reading, writing, spelling, grammar, punctuation and numeracy (“Testing times see cheat count at eight”, 23/5).
Spelling, grammar and punctuation are three of the criteria used to grade the writing component but are also tested separately in the “language conventions” paper. Given that the program probes only a narrow slice of the whole school curriculum, why is it necessary to measure these elements twice? Are they that important, or is it just that they are relatively easy to test with computer-marked, multiple choice items?

This is the first time I have been to an ETAQ conference and it was really sensational to get so much at all of the sessions.
ETAQ conferences always have sessions that make me excited to be a teacher.
I know that ETAQ conferences in the past have never disappointed - valuable, relevant, practical, inspiring so I came again.
