Opening addresses at Inclusive Assessment & Standards in a Dynamic and Changing World

Remarks by Dara Ryder, CEO, AHEAD and Dr Padraig Walsh, CEO, QQI

Rethinking assessment: inclusive assessment & standards in a dynamic and changing world

On 17 April 2024, QQI, AHEAD and the Disability Advisors Working Network (DAWN) hosted a conference on “Rethinking Assessment: Inclusive Assessment & Standards in a Dynamic and Changing World”.

The aim of this event was to encourage teaching/academic staff, leaders, academic and learner support staff, and learners from the further and higher education sectors, and Professional, Statutory & Regulatory Bodies, to reflect on the validity of their preferred approaches to assessment of learners’ achievement of intended learning outcomes (i.e., standards) and, in doing so, to reflect on how students are affected, whether those standards and assessment approaches need to be more inclusive and, if so, how to make them more inclusive.
