Assessing how students demonstrate their competencies and apply these in their work and daily interactions is an area we are eager to help our members develop. There is a growing sense of purpose among the CIS community of schools and universities to utilise new metrics of students’ competencies to evidence who they are as learners and show external stakeholders what they can do.

To pursue this objective, we are excited to announce a program for CIS member schools focused on student assessment. In partnership with Melbourne Metrics (at the University of Melbourne in Australia), we will provide practical support to schools seeking to strengthen the assessment, reporting and credentialing of complex competencies for their students.

The New Metrics International Schools Program will develop a complementary assessment record that will help to predict a student’s agency to enter university life, undertake new studies, and succeed. Participating schools will be supplied with assessment and reporting tools and methods that align with a school’s learning ambitions.

This opportunity is open to CIS Member schools. More information for schools is available in the CIS Community portal.
