For more information and FAQs, please go to [www.acuityinsights.app](www.acuityinsights.app)  \nThis fact sheet provides an overview of Casper, a non-cognitive online test that some Victorian institutions will use to assess the personal attributes of applicants to initial teacher education (ITE) courses. Courses that require applicants to sit Casper will list it under ‘Essential requirements and admission criteria’ in the course entry within CourseSearch.  \nWhy must initial teacher education applicants undertake a test like Casper?  \nIn 2017, the Victorian Government, in partnership with the Victorian Institute of Teaching, introduced a selection framework for all initial teacher education (ITE) courses. This framework aligns with the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership’s Action Now: Selection of entrants into initial teacher education – Guidelines.  \nUnder the framework, an applicant’s academic capabilities and non-academic capabilities (personal attributes) must be assessed for suitability for entry to ITE courses. Casper is a tool for assessing personal attributes.  \nThe Victorian Government website explains the purpose of these requirements is “to raise entry standards and attract high quality candidates from diverse backgrounds into the teaching profession.” Read more at Initial teacher education reforms  \nWhich initial teacher education courses require applicants to sit Casper?  \nAll initial teacher education courses require applicants to demonstrate their personal attributes.
