Abstract
The Centre for Assessment Reform and Innovation at the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) has developed an assessment framework for measuring and monitoring 21st century skills in the classroom. Through a combination of curriculum-oriented assessment tools, learning progressions and professional development, the agenda is to equip teachers to integrate teaching and assess general capabilities into their classroom.
