An innovative approach to assessing more complex outcomes of learning

In July 2015 Alfriston College—a Year 9–13 secondary school—was successful in winning funding from the Teacher Led Innovation Fund. Karyn White led the school’s inquiry and Rosemary Hipkins supported the in-school team with advice about research processes as needed. In this short article Karyn describes one aspect of what the team did and found out. Rose has added a brief commentary at the end that discusses the importance of strengthening perspective-taking capabilities as an outcome of rich integrated learning.
