What is the Passport for learning?

The Passport for learning was developed to ensure learning is scaffolded for all students, especially those needing support to establish strong language skills.

Passport for learning consists of four learning domains, known as CRES (Cognitive, Receptive, Expressive and Social skills). There are seven (7) colour groupings which outline the main focus for each of the different groups students may fit into when the observations and assessment has been completed. The Passport groups are Awareness, Anticipation, Intentional, Imitation First/then, Categorisation, Simple problem solving and Simple critical thinking.

The Passport for learning is available to department schools in 2 stages:

• Term 2, 2024 - Schools for Specific Purposes and schools with support units
• Term 1, 2025 - all other schools.

Online tool

Teachers administer the assessment using the online tool for entering student responses. The online tool is available via ALAN.

The ALAN helpdesk has solutions for all ‘How to' questions for administering the assessment.
