2025 7-10 Australian Curriculum Science Workshop: How can we design and assess differentiated tasks?
Presenter: Jason Greenslade, Curriculum Leader Science, Westminster School
This session will only focus on Australian Curriculum 7-10 Science courses – these are so critical for making sure we are retaining students in Science in the senior years. It is essential that we equip students in these year levels with confidence and the skills needed to explain, analyse and be critical.
"Very relevant! There are aspects which I can implement into my teaching straight away." - 2024 attendee

Description
We know that the profile of our middle school classes is also becoming more and more complex with a wide range of skills and learning needs.
This session aims to provide a framework (and plenty of practical examples) of the following:
- How to design and assess via rubrics in AC 7-10 Science for assignment and practical work
- How to design, structure and execute differentiated assessments in the 7-10 science classroom (+ examples!) – practicals and assignments!
- 7-10 Scientific reports – what should we put in there? What is appropriate?
- Moderation of student work and standard setting in each year level
The session will give you an opportunity to work on your own tasks, share with the group, moderate your own student work and engage in professional discussions about marking – so please bring plenty!
