Current Issues
NAPLAN results report on many aspects of Literacy and Numeracy performance by students in schools across Australia. Whether comparing states, schools, individual children or year to year results, many parents and teachers find the statistics difficult to interpret meaningfully. Professor Anne Castles reflects on implications for an individual child found to be behind their peers in reading, and Emeritus Professor Kevin Wheldall explains the statistical significance of comparing results from year to year in articles first published in the current issue of the LDA Bulletin.
