ICEQC-R-2016-03 — Global Citizenship and Sustainable Development Learning: Evidence Expectations

Textual scope of target 4.7 establishes the evidence expectation for the target 4.7 learning scope. For textual scope of target 4.7, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners across all education stages, and the direct evidence concerns coverage of the adopted content domains. In examining textual scope of target 4.7, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on textual scope of target 4.7, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of textual scope of target 4.7, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-01] [REF-02] [REF-03] [REF-10]

The principal validity risk in textual scope of target 4.7 is that one familiar theme is allowed to stand for the entire target. In examining textual scope of target 4.7, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on textual scope of target 4.7, authorities should describe how the target 4.7 learning scope appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of textual scope of target 4.7, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-01] [REF-02]

The minimum interpretive requirement for textual scope of target 4.7 is to map each stated domain and explain justified national connections and distinctions. Within evidence on textual scope of target 4.7, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of textual scope of target 4.7, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible. In judging textual scope of target 4.7, where local adaptation occurs, the correspondence to the common purpose should be explained rather than assumed from terminology.[REF-02] [REF-03]

Evidence for coverage of the adopted content domains should be triangulated. For interpretation of textual scope of target 4.7, curriculum documents show intended learning; plans and materials show opportunity; observation shows aspects of enacted teaching; ordinary learner work shows reasoning and response; participation records can show agency when role and reflection are documented; and institutional evidence shows whether governance is coherent. In judging textual scope of target 4.7, for textual scope of target 4.7, disagreement is informative. For decisions about textual scope of target 4.7, it may show that formal intent has not reached learners or that meaningful local practice is absent from the written curriculum.[REF-03] [REF-10]

Equity is part of textual scope of target 4.7. In judging textual scope of target 4.7, evidence should identify whether learners across all education stages receive comparable curricular time, prepared teaching, accessible materials, accommodation, language support and safe participation. For decisions about textual scope of target 4.7, group levels should remain visible beside any average, with attention to sex, disability, location, language, education route and other relevant barriers. For textual scope of target 4.7, small or sensitive groups require safe reporting, not disappearance. In examining textual scope of target 4.7, a national curriculum statement cannot by itself demonstrate equal opportunity to learn.[REF-01] [REF-10]

Interpretation of the target 4.7 learning scope should separate intent, implementation, learning and wider outcome. For decisions about textual scope of target 4.7, for textual scope of target 4.7, a written objective does not establish teaching; observed activity does not establish learning; a learner response does not establish durable action; and concurrent social change does not establish educational causation. For textual scope of target 4.7, reports should state alternative explanations and uncertainty. In examining textual scope of target 4.7, at this early 2016 stage, they should date every source and avoid importing later indicators, datasets or findings into the baseline.[REF-02] [REF-03] [REF-10]

Public responsibility completes textual scope of target 4.7. For textual scope of target 4.7, a material gap in coverage of the adopted content domains should lead to an owned improvement in curriculum, educator support, materials, participation, accessibility or institutional practice, with resources and a later learner-facing test. In examining textual scope of target 4.7, learners need safe voice and non-retaliation, especially on contested issues. Within evidence on textual scope of target 4.7, if evidence remains inadequate, the next collection or validation duty should be stated. For interpretation of textual scope of target 4.7, the target 4.7 learning scope should end as a transparent chain of purpose, opportunity, learning evidence, equity and correction rather than an unverified claim of values.[REF-01] [REF-02] [REF-03] [REF-10]

Global citizenship as belonging and responsibility establishes the evidence expectation for the global citizenship learning. For global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners relating local, national and global communities, and the direct evidence concerns knowledge, values, skills and participation. In examining global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-04] [REF-05] [REF-10] [REF-18]

The principal validity risk in global citizenship as belonging and responsibility is that global citizenship is reduced to international facts or loyalty to one institutional view. In examining global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, authorities should describe how the global citizenship learning appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-04] [REF-05]

The minimum interpretive requirement for global citizenship as belonging and responsibility is to examine interdependence, multiple belonging, responsibility, critical enquiry and peaceful action. Within evidence on global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible. In judging global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, where local adaptation occurs, the correspondence to the common purpose should be explained rather than assumed from terminology.[REF-05] [REF-10]

Evidence for knowledge, values, skills and participation should be triangulated. For interpretation of global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, curriculum documents show intended learning; plans and materials show opportunity; observation shows aspects of enacted teaching; ordinary learner work shows reasoning and response; participation records can show agency when role and reflection are documented; and institutional evidence shows whether governance is coherent.

Equity is part of global citizenship as belonging and responsibility. In judging global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, evidence should identify whether learners relating local, national and global communities receive comparable curricular time, prepared teaching, accessible materials, accommodation, language support and safe participation. For decisions about global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, group levels should remain visible beside any average, with attention to sex, disability, location, language, education route and other relevant barriers. For global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, small or sensitive groups require safe reporting, not disappearance. In examining global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, a national curriculum statement cannot by itself demonstrate equal opportunity to learn.[REF-04] [REF-18]

Within evidence on global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, if evidence remains inadequate, the next collection or validation duty should be stated. For interpretation of global citizenship as belonging and responsibility, the global citizenship learning should end as a transparent chain of purpose, opportunity, learning evidence, equity and correction rather than an unverified claim of values.[REF-04] [REF-05] [REF-10] [REF-18]

Sustainable development as an integrated concern establishes the evidence expectation for the sustainable-development learning. For sustainable development as an integrated concern, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners considering environmental, social, cultural and economic questions, and the direct evidence concerns systems understanding and responsible choice. In examining sustainable development as an integrated concern, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on sustainable development as an integrated concern, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of sustainable development as an integrated concern, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-06] [REF-07] [REF-08] [REF-09]

The principal validity risk in sustainable development as an integrated concern is that sustainability is confined to environmental awareness or individual behaviour. In examining sustainable development as an integrated concern, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on sustainable development as an integrated concern, authorities should describe how the sustainable-development learning appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of sustainable development as an integrated concern, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-06] [REF-07]

The minimum interpretive requirement for sustainable development as an integrated concern is to connect ecological limits, justice, livelihoods, institutions and collective decisions. Within evidence on sustainable development as an integrated concern, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of sustainable development as an integrated concern, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible. In judging sustainable development as an integrated concern, where local adaptation occurs, the correspondence to the common purpose should be explained rather than assumed from terminology.[REF-07] [REF-08]

Evidence for systems understanding and responsible choice should be triangulated. For interpretation of sustainable development as an integrated concern, curriculum documents show intended learning; plans and materials show opportunity; observation shows aspects of enacted teaching; ordinary learner work shows reasoning and response; participation records can show agency when role and reflection are documented; and institutional evidence shows whether governance is coherent.

Human rights education about, through and for rights establishes the evidence expectation for the human-rights learning. For human rights education about, through and for rights, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners and institutions holding rights and duties, and the direct evidence concerns knowledge, educational environment and agency. In examining human rights education about, through and for rights, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on human rights education about, through and for rights, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of human rights education about, through and for rights, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-10] [REF-11] [REF-12] [REF-13]

The principal validity risk in human rights education about, through and for rights is that rights are taught as abstract content while institutional practice contradicts them. In examining human rights education about, through and for rights, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on human rights education about, through and for rights, authorities should describe how the human-rights learning appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of human rights education about, through and for rights, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-10] [REF-11]

The minimum interpretive requirement for human rights education about, through and for rights is to seek evidence of rights knowledge, rights-respecting participation and capacity to uphold rights. Within evidence on human rights education about, through and for rights, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of human rights education about, through and for rights, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible.

Peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding establishes the evidence expectation for the peace and intercultural learning. For peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners engaging difference, conflict and shared life, and the direct evidence concerns dialogue, analysis and non-violent response. In examining peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it.

The principal validity risk in peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding is that harmony slogans avoid power, discrimination, historical conflict or skills for disagreement. In examining peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding, authorities should describe how the peace and intercultural learning appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-05] [REF-10]

The minimum interpretive requirement for peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding is to review substantive enquiry, respectful dialogue, conflict analysis and non-violent choices. Within evidence on peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of peace, non-violence and intercultural understanding, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible.

Gender equality and respect for diversity establishes the evidence expectation for the equality learning. For gender equality and respect for diversity, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners of different sex, disability, culture and identity, and the direct evidence concerns stereotype recognition and inclusive participation. In examining gender equality and respect for diversity, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on gender equality and respect for diversity, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of gender equality and respect for diversity, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-01] [REF-05] [REF-14] [REF-15]

The principal validity risk in gender equality and respect for diversity is that celebration of diversity coexists with inaccessible learning or unchallenged stereotypes. In examining gender equality and respect for diversity, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on gender equality and respect for diversity, authorities should describe how the equality learning appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of gender equality and respect for diversity, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-01] [REF-05]

The minimum interpretive requirement for gender equality and respect for diversity is to combine curriculum evidence with representation, accessibility, voice and institutional remedy. Within evidence on gender equality and respect for diversity, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of gender equality and respect for diversity, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible.

Knowledge of systems and interdependence establishes the evidence expectation for the systems knowledge. For knowledge of systems and interdependence, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners building explanations across places and scales, and the direct evidence concerns conceptual understanding. In examining knowledge of systems and interdependence, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on knowledge of systems and interdependence, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of knowledge of systems and interdependence, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-04] [REF-05] [REF-06] [REF-09]

The principal validity risk in knowledge of systems and interdependence is that isolated facts are recalled without relationships, causes, consequences or uncertainty. In examining knowledge of systems and interdependence, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on knowledge of systems and interdependence, authorities should describe how the systems knowledge appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of knowledge of systems and interdependence, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-04] [REF-05]

The minimum interpretive requirement for knowledge of systems and interdependence is to specify age-appropriate concepts, connections, evidence use and revision of explanation. Within evidence on knowledge of systems and interdependence, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of knowledge of systems and interdependence, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible. In judging knowledge of systems and interdependence, where local adaptation occurs, the correspondence to the common purpose should be explained rather than assumed from terminology.[REF-05] [REF-06]

Evidence for conceptual understanding should be triangulated. For interpretation of knowledge of systems and interdependence, curriculum documents show intended learning; plans and materials show opportunity; observation shows aspects of enacted teaching; ordinary learner work shows reasoning and response; participation records can show agency when role and reflection are documented; and institutional evidence shows whether governance is coherent. In judging knowledge of systems and interdependence, for knowledge of systems and interdependence, disagreement is informative. For decisions about knowledge of systems and interdependence, it may show that formal intent has not reached learners or that meaningful local practice is absent from the written curriculum.[REF-06] [REF-09]

Equity is part of knowledge of systems and interdependence. In judging knowledge of systems and interdependence, evidence should identify whether learners building explanations across places and scales receive comparable curricular time, prepared teaching, accessible materials, accommodation, language support and safe participation. For decisions about knowledge of systems and interdependence, group levels should remain visible beside any average, with attention to sex, disability, location, language, education route and other relevant barriers. For knowledge of systems and interdependence, small or sensitive groups require safe reporting, not disappearance. In examining knowledge of systems and interdependence, a national curriculum statement cannot by itself demonstrate equal opportunity to learn.[REF-04] [REF-09]

Interpretation of the systems knowledge should separate intent, implementation, learning and wider outcome. For decisions about knowledge of systems and interdependence, for knowledge of systems and interdependence, a written objective does not establish teaching; observed activity does not establish learning; a learner response does not establish durable action; and concurrent social change does not establish educational causation. For knowledge of systems and interdependence, reports should state alternative explanations and uncertainty. In examining knowledge of systems and interdependence, at this early 2016 stage, they should date every source and avoid importing later indicators, datasets or findings into the baseline.[REF-05] [REF-06] [REF-09]

Public responsibility completes knowledge of systems and interdependence. For knowledge of systems and interdependence, a material gap in conceptual understanding should lead to an owned improvement in curriculum, educator support, materials, participation, accessibility or institutional practice, with resources and a later learner-facing test. In examining knowledge of systems and interdependence, learners need safe voice and non-retaliation, especially on contested issues. Within evidence on knowledge of systems and interdependence, if evidence remains inadequate, the next collection or validation duty should be stated. For interpretation of knowledge of systems and interdependence, the systems knowledge should end as a transparent chain of purpose, opportunity, learning evidence, equity and correction rather than an unverified claim of values.[REF-04] [REF-05] [REF-06] [REF-09]

Critical enquiry and source judgement establishes the evidence expectation for the critical enquiry. For critical enquiry and source judgement, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners interpreting claims and competing evidence, and the direct evidence concerns questioning, source evaluation and reasoned conclusion. In examining critical enquiry and source judgement, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on critical enquiry and source judgement, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of critical enquiry and source judgement, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-05] [REF-11] [REF-18] [REF-21]

The principal validity risk in critical enquiry and source judgement is that critical thinking is asserted without demanding tasks or openness to revision. In examining critical enquiry and source judgement, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on critical enquiry and source judgement, authorities should describe how the critical enquiry appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of critical enquiry and source judgement, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-05] [REF-11]

The minimum interpretive requirement for critical enquiry and source judgement is to examine questions, source comparison, reasoning, uncertainty and response to counter-evidence. Within evidence on critical enquiry and source judgement, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of critical enquiry and source judgement, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible. In judging critical enquiry and source judgement, where local adaptation occurs, the correspondence to the common purpose should be explained rather than assumed from terminology.[REF-11] [REF-18]

Evidence for questioning, source evaluation and reasoned conclusion should be triangulated. For interpretation of critical enquiry and source judgement, curriculum documents show intended learning; plans and materials show opportunity; observation shows aspects of enacted teaching; ordinary learner work shows reasoning and response; participation records can show agency when role and reflection are documented; and institutional evidence shows whether governance is coherent. In judging critical enquiry and source judgement, for critical enquiry and source judgement, disagreement is informative. For decisions about critical enquiry and source judgement, it may show that formal intent has not reached learners or that meaningful local practice is absent from the written curriculum.[REF-18] [REF-21]

Equity is part of critical enquiry and source judgement. In judging critical enquiry and source judgement, evidence should identify whether learners interpreting claims and competing evidence receive comparable curricular time, prepared teaching, accessible materials, accommodation, language support and safe participation. For decisions about critical enquiry and source judgement, group levels should remain visible beside any average, with attention to sex, disability, location, language, education route and other relevant barriers. For critical enquiry and source judgement, small or sensitive groups require safe reporting, not disappearance. In examining critical enquiry and source judgement, a national curriculum statement cannot by itself demonstrate equal opportunity to learn.[REF-05] [REF-21]

Interpretation of the critical enquiry should separate intent, implementation, learning and wider outcome. For decisions about critical enquiry and source judgement, for critical enquiry and source judgement, a written objective does not establish teaching; observed activity does not establish learning; a learner response does not establish durable action; and concurrent social change does not establish educational causation.

Public responsibility completes critical enquiry and source judgement. For critical enquiry and source judgement, a material gap in questioning, source evaluation and reasoned conclusion should lead to an owned improvement in curriculum, educator support, materials, participation, accessibility or institutional practice, with resources and a later learner-facing test. In examining critical enquiry and source judgement, learners need safe voice and non-retaliation, especially on contested issues. Within evidence on critical enquiry and source judgement, if evidence remains inadequate, the next collection or validation duty should be stated.

Ethical reflection and value reasoning establishes the evidence expectation for the ethical reasoning. For ethical reflection and value reasoning, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners considering rights, duties, consequences and competing claims, and the direct evidence concerns justification and respect. In examining ethical reflection and value reasoning, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on ethical reflection and value reasoning, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of ethical reflection and value reasoning, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-05] [REF-10] [REF-11] [REF-13]

The principal validity risk in ethical reflection and value reasoning is that approved attitudes are measured through agreement while reasoning and dissent remain invisible. In examining ethical reflection and value reasoning, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on ethical reflection and value reasoning, authorities should describe how the ethical reasoning appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of ethical reflection and value reasoning, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-05] [REF-10]

The minimum interpretive requirement for ethical reflection and value reasoning is to use dilemmas, explanation, perspective and rights boundaries rather than required opinion. Within evidence on ethical reflection and value reasoning, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of ethical reflection and value reasoning, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible.

Participation and responsible action establishes the evidence expectation for the participatory capability. For participation and responsible action, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners identifying and addressing shared concerns, and the direct evidence concerns planning, cooperation, action and reflection. In examining participation and responsible action, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on participation and responsible action, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of participation and responsible action, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-04] [REF-05] [REF-07] [REF-18]

Progression across ages and stages establishes the evidence expectation for the learning progression. For progression across ages and stages, the relevant population or institutional actors are children, youth and adults at different developmental and educational stages, and the direct evidence concerns increasing conceptual and practical demand. In examining progression across ages and stages, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on progression across ages and stages, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of progression across ages and stages, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-03] [REF-05] [REF-13] [REF-16]

The principal validity risk in progression across ages and stages is that the same awareness activity is repeated without deeper reasoning or independence. In examining progression across ages and stages, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on progression across ages and stages, authorities should describe how the learning progression appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of progression across ages and stages, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-03] [REF-05]

For decisions about teacher knowledge, confidence and support, for teacher knowledge, confidence and support, a written objective does not establish teaching; observed activity does not establish learning; a learner response does not establish durable action; and concurrent social change does not establish educational causation. For teacher knowledge, confidence and support, reports should state alternative explanations and uncertainty. In examining teacher knowledge, confidence and support, at this early 2016 stage, they should date every source and avoid importing later indicators, datasets or findings into the baseline.[REF-05] [REF-07] [REF-19]

Public responsibility completes teacher knowledge, confidence and support. For teacher knowledge, confidence and support, a material gap in subject understanding and pedagogical judgement should lead to an owned improvement in curriculum, educator support, materials, participation, accessibility or institutional practice, with resources and a later learner-facing test. In examining teacher knowledge, confidence and support, learners need safe voice and non-retaliation, especially on contested issues. Within evidence on teacher knowledge, confidence and support, if evidence remains inadequate, the next collection or validation duty should be stated. For interpretation of teacher knowledge, confidence and support, the educator capability should end as a transparent chain of purpose, opportunity, learning evidence, equity and correction rather than an unverified claim of values.[REF-03] [REF-05] [REF-07] [REF-19]

Whole-institution coherence establishes the evidence expectation for the institutional learning environment. For whole-institution coherence, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners and staff experiencing policies and daily practice, and the direct evidence concerns alignment of curriculum and governance. In examining whole-institution coherence, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on whole-institution coherence, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of whole-institution coherence, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-06] [REF-07] [REF-11] [REF-14]

The principal validity risk in whole-institution coherence is that schools teach equality or sustainability while rules, procurement, energy use or discipline contradict it. In examining whole-institution coherence, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on whole-institution coherence, authorities should describe how the institutional learning environment appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of whole-institution coherence, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-06] [REF-07]

The minimum interpretive requirement for whole-institution coherence is to review participation, inclusion, safeguarding, resource use and public decisions alongside teaching. Within evidence on whole-institution coherence, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of whole-institution coherence, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible. In judging whole-institution coherence, where local adaptation occurs, the correspondence to the common purpose should be explained rather than assumed from terminology.[REF-07] [REF-11]

Evidence for alignment of curriculum and governance should be triangulated. For interpretation of whole-institution coherence, curriculum documents show intended learning; plans and materials show opportunity; observation shows aspects of enacted teaching; ordinary learner work shows reasoning and response; participation records can show agency when role and reflection are documented; and institutional evidence shows whether governance is coherent. In judging whole-institution coherence, for whole-institution coherence, disagreement is informative. For decisions about whole-institution coherence, it may show that formal intent has not reached learners or that meaningful local practice is absent from the written curriculum.[REF-11] [REF-14]

Equity is part of whole-institution coherence. In judging whole-institution coherence, evidence should identify whether learners and staff experiencing policies and daily practice receive comparable curricular time, prepared teaching, accessible materials, accommodation, language support and safe participation. For decisions about whole-institution coherence, group levels should remain visible beside any average, with attention to sex, disability, location, language, education route and other relevant barriers. For whole-institution coherence, small or sensitive groups require safe reporting, not disappearance. In examining whole-institution coherence, a national curriculum statement cannot by itself demonstrate equal opportunity to learn.[REF-06] [REF-14]

Community and local knowledge partnerships establishes the evidence expectation for the community learning relationship. For community and local knowledge partnerships, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners, families, local authorities and community groups, and the direct evidence concerns reciprocal knowledge and action. In examining community and local knowledge partnerships, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on community and local knowledge partnerships, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of community and local knowledge partnerships, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-04] [REF-07] [REF-08] [REF-09]

The principal validity risk in community and local knowledge partnerships is that communities are used as activity venues without influence or local claims are accepted without enquiry. In examining community and local knowledge partnerships, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on community and local knowledge partnerships, authorities should describe how the community learning relationship appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of community and local knowledge partnerships, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-04] [REF-07]

The minimum interpretive requirement for community and local knowledge partnerships is to define mutual roles, consent, evidence, benefit, safeguarding and reflection. Within evidence on community and local knowledge partnerships, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation.

Safe participation and protection from retaliation establishes the evidence expectation for the safe educational participation. For safe participation and protection from retaliation, the relevant population or institutional actors are learners expressing views on sensitive public questions, and the direct evidence concerns safety, confidentiality and continued access. In examining safe participation and protection from retaliation, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on safe participation and protection from retaliation, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of safe participation and protection from retaliation, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-11] [REF-12] [REF-13] [REF-22]

The principal validity risk in safe participation and protection from retaliation is that participatory assignments expose identity, political opinion or personal experience. In examining safe participation and protection from retaliation, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on safe participation and protection from retaliation, authorities should describe how the safe educational participation appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions.

Curriculum-document evidence establishes the evidence expectation for the intended curriculum evidence. For curriculum-document evidence, the relevant population or institutional actors are national and institutional curriculum authorities, and the direct evidence concerns explicit and embedded learning expectations. In examining curriculum-document evidence, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it. Within evidence on curriculum-document evidence, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of curriculum-document evidence, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-03] [REF-05] [REF-07] [REF-21]

The principal validity risk in curriculum-document evidence is that keyword counts imply substantive coverage without progression, time or assessment. In examining curriculum-document evidence, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on curriculum-document evidence, authorities should describe how the intended curriculum evidence appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of curriculum-document evidence, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-03] [REF-05]

The minimum interpretive requirement for curriculum-document evidence is to code concepts, demand, progression, location, time and relation to assessment and teacher support. Within evidence on curriculum-document evidence, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of curriculum-document evidence, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible.

For interpretation of participation and action evidence, curriculum documents show intended learning; plans and materials show opportunity; observation shows aspects of enacted teaching; ordinary learner work shows reasoning and response; participation records can show agency when role and reflection are documented; and institutional evidence shows whether governance is coherent. In judging participation and action evidence, for participation and action evidence, disagreement is informative. For decisions about participation and action evidence, it may show that formal intent has not reached learners or that meaningful local practice is absent from the written curriculum.[REF-07] [REF-18]

Equity is part of participation and action evidence. In judging participation and action evidence, evidence should identify whether learners undertaking civic or sustainability activity receive comparable curricular time, prepared teaching, accessible materials, accommodation, language support and safe participation. For decisions about participation and action evidence, group levels should remain visible beside any average, with attention to sex, disability, location, language, education route and other relevant barriers. For participation and action evidence, small or sensitive groups require safe reporting, not disappearance. In examining participation and action evidence, a national curriculum statement cannot by itself demonstrate equal opportunity to learn.[REF-04] [REF-18]

Interpretation of the action evidence should separate intent, implementation, learning and wider outcome. For decisions about participation and action evidence, for participation and action evidence, a written objective does not establish teaching; observed activity does not establish learning; a learner response does not establish durable action; and concurrent social change does not establish educational causation. For participation and action evidence, reports should state alternative explanations and uncertainty.

Public responsibility completes participation and action evidence. For participation and action evidence, a material gap in agency, cooperation and reflective learning should lead to an owned improvement in curriculum, educator support, materials, participation, accessibility or institutional practice, with resources and a later learner-facing test. In examining participation and action evidence, learners need safe voice and non-retaliation, especially on contested issues. Within evidence on participation and action evidence, if evidence remains inadequate, the next collection or validation duty should be stated.

Within evidence on institutional conditions and opportunity to learn, a keyword, event or broad value statement is not enough. For interpretation of institutional conditions and opportunity to learn, the standard should remain open to contextual content while preserving the adopted scope, human-rights boundaries and a level of demand that can support public judgement.[REF-03] [REF-05] [REF-15] [REF-20]

The principal validity risk in institutional conditions and opportunity to learn is that national curriculum presence is treated as equal opportunity across schools and groups. In examining institutional conditions and opportunity to learn, that risk can make evidence plentiful but substantively empty, or can reward conformity while suppressing the critical enquiry the standard is meant to foster. Within evidence on institutional conditions and opportunity to learn, authorities should describe how the opportunity evidence appears in curriculum, teaching, learner experience and institutional conditions. For interpretation of institutional conditions and opportunity to learn, they should also identify who lacks access, which forms of evidence could be coerced or culturally narrow, and what conclusion remains beyond the available material.[REF-03] [REF-05]

The minimum interpretive requirement for institutional conditions and opportunity to learn is to report delivered time, teacher support, materials, safety and participation by setting and group. Within evidence on institutional conditions and opportunity to learn, a usable specification should state the learning domain, stage, expected progression, task or experience, evidence source, criteria, group coverage and main limitation. For interpretation of institutional conditions and opportunity to learn, where a theme is embedded across subjects, responsibility for time, teacher preparation and assessment must still be visible.

Cultural relevance without relativising rights establishes the evidence expectation for the contextual interpretation. For cultural relevance without relativising rights, the relevant population or institutional actors are communities and learners relating universal rights to diverse histories, and the direct evidence concerns relevance and normative integrity. In examining cultural relevance without relativising rights, interpretation should begin with the educational purpose and the learner capability or condition that follows, then identify what could credibly demonstrate it.
