Report on Benchmarking of Enabling Programs across Australia to the National Association of Enabling Educators of Australia (NAEEA)
Report on Benchmarking of Enabling Programs across Australia to the National Association of Enabling Educators of Australia (NAEEA).
Charmaine Davis, Suzi Syme, Chris Cook, Sarah Dempster, Lisa Duffy, Sarah Hattam, George Lambrinidis, Kathy Lawson & Stuart Levy
Nine enabling programs across Australia worked together from 2021-2022 to produce this report investigating the comparability of learning outcomes, curriculum and assessment practices across their enabling programs. This is the first comprehensive, cross institutional study of enabling programs in Australia and, in the absence of national standards or inclusion in the AQF, will make a significant contribution to the standardisation of programs, providing quality assurance, transparency, and potentially portability of qualifications for students.
