This practical, hands-on session explores how to make assessment in primary Physical Education simple, meaningful, and impactful for improving student outcomes. Using KIDDO’s Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) assessment tool and the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAMSA), participants will see how assessment can be both practical to implement and powerful in shaping teaching and learning.

A key feature of KIDDO’s assessment system is the ability to benchmark student achievement against a national dataset of over 153,000 primary students across Australia, giving teachers and schools for the first time a real understanding of their students’ strengths and weaknesses and the impact of their programs. Combined with instant automated reporting and whole-school insights, this allows educators to quickly identify students who need additional support, track development and focus teaching on skills that need additional support at both an individual, class and school level.

This is a highly practical session where participants don’t just learn about the assessments, they see them in action and take part themselves. Through live, practical demonstrations of both the rapid FMS assessment (Prep–Year 2) and CAMSA (Years 3–6), attendees will experience how the assessments are set up, delivered, and scored. They will also explore the resulting data and insights through the KIDDO platform, seeing firsthand how assessment information is transformed into clear, usable feedback for planning and intervention.

Participants will also hear directly from a school that is actively using KIDDO assessment tools in practice, sharing real insights into implementation, impact, and how data is being used to inform teaching and improve student movement outcomes.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Confidently implement KIDDO’s rapid FMS assessment tool in Foundation–Year 2 settings
• Set up and deliver CAMSA effectively for Years 3–6 students
• Interpret benchmarking data against a national dataset of 153,000+ students
• Explore and use automated reports and insights to inform teaching and learning
• Learn practical implementation strategies from schools using the tools in real settings
• Apply simple, meaningful assessment practices that directly inform PE programming

Leave this session with practical experience, clear strategies, and real examples that show how assessment can be meaningful, and genuinely useful in everyday PE teaching.
