Online Professional Learning Course Support Materials
The online professional learning course assists teachers to effectively implement the ABLES assessment tool.
It is a free online course suitable for teachers and educational support staff. The course comprises five modules, each focussing on a specific element of the ABLES suite of resources and each requiring approximately 30 minutes of online participation to complete. A certificate of completion is available at the conclusion of each module.
The professional learning modules provide information on:
- legislative provisions, reasonable adjustments and equitable participation for students with disability and additional needs
- how to complete the ABLES assessments
- how to interpret and use the reports generated by the assessments
- linking the report information to curriculum planning, teaching and learning to better support students with disability and/or additional learning needs.
Note: The professional learning modules reference the previous ABLES Assessment Tool platform. Apart from log-in details, the information provided is relevant to the Ruby platform.
