Comments
The paper uses examples from
the Melbourne Declaration on the
Educational Goals for Young Australians
(2008) as well as from work completed
by ACER to reflect on, explore and
make recommendations to mediate
the challenges of measuring and
improving the non-academic outcomes
of schooling. The paper outlines
common difficulties encountered when
defining non-academic outcomes and
establishing mechanisms to measure
outcomes within schools, and the paper
explores some of the misconceptions
that are commonly associated with
attempts to improve non-academic
outcomes of schooling. In each case
the challenges and misconceptions are
accompanied by recommendations for
approaches and strategies that can be
used to address them.
