How can I use the NAPLAN Bands Over Time report support my school self assessment?
This report allows assessment of whether there is movement in the percentage or students in each band (represented by the size of the bubbles) as well as the average score for those in the bands. Ideally a school would see a decrease in the percentage of students in lower bands and an increase in the percentage of students in higher bands over time.
Programs implemented in the school can be tracked over time by witnessing if the post-intervention cohorts are demonstrating improvements in the target area as compared to pre-intervention cohorts.
What should I look for?
