My son Master 10 has been doing his naplan test all day today, although he had a disability and finds testing, especially tests with a time constraint very difficult, we encouraged him to do the best he could for this simple reason.
The government and teachers and staff need this information to assist everyone.
All students with a disability have it stated on their test and are allowed extra time to complete the work, the information gained from special needs children taking this test will definitely help the education department in changing the way they teach and allocate funding.
I also think parents need to remember that their children’s score on their naplan tests do not affect their report card at all.
