New online learning for Abilities Based Learning and Education Support

A new series of 3 free online learning modules is available to help teachers build professional capability in Abilities Based Learning and Education Support (ABLES).

The ABLES assessment and reporting suite is used to identify and monitor the learning readiness and progress of students with disability and diverse learners. ABLES helps students to engage with the curriculum and, with reasonable adjustments, access the same education opportunities as their peers.

The new modules will build the knowledge and skills of teachers and other school professionals to:

• understand the purpose of ABLES
• implement ABLES in the classroom and school
• utilise ABLES reporting in their teaching and learning practices. 

The ABLES modules are free for all Victorian government school staff. Each module will take between 30 and 45 minutes to complete. 

To register and for more information about the modules, refer to the ABLES professional learning page.
