Hello all. I have just joined this community and am eager to share with schools around the world our respective Visible Learning school journeys. I am head teacher of Bader Primary School in the UK.

Can the simple effect size formula (avg post - avg pre)/(avg of stdev) be used when comparing standardized tests given annually (given that they are very similar)?

Just posted this in the News section - Chris Pyne is keen to overhaul the Australian curriculum with "our Asian competitors" in mind.

I'm not so sure that curriculum is the most important driver when it comes to the job market, even on an international scale. Plenty of careers require more than a history of top marks.
