2016 was a good news NAPLAN story for Queensland. Why was this so? What can we learn and what should we be doing now? What are the implications for NAPLAN online?

Dr Jim Watterston Director General for the Department of Education and Training will offer his insights at the City Golf Club (254 South Street Toowoomba) on Tuesday 14th March, 7:30 – 8:30am.

In an area mired in controversy and seemingly at odds with our desire for all children to succeed and to fall in love with learning, many voices contest the field:

• “Schools are not meeting the 'high standards we expect”: Federal Education Minister, December 2016
• “Expectations needed to be raised”: CEO ACARA, December 2016.
• “NAPLAN results show it is time to hand trust back to teachers”: Stroud, January 2017

Hosted by SPELD Qld the $60 outlay will provide a quality breakfast, networking opportunity, and strategic insights so that school leaders and support professionals can be best placed for 2017.
