NCEA refresher

1. Consent : As a school, we must be granted consent to assess students against standards from NZQA. (Achievement standards, complete domains for unit standards)

2. Critiquing of assessment : your own or make changes an NZQA task, commercial ones need second pair of eyes checking the assessment task is suitable.

3. Internal Moderation Verification: no teacher works in isolation, credible grades, meeting the requirements of it consent:

·                     Student work selected purposefully (boundary grades), no set number of samples

·                     75% results goes to NZAQ

4. Authenticity: Publicly sourced assessment materials must be changed. No need to complete the same task or at the same time, Task can be broken into group components. Regular check points for students and teacher (monitoring, record keeping); submission of plans and drafts; oral questioning, requiring a repeat performance; use plagiarism software

5. Re-submission requirements: at grade boundaries, no further teaching and learning, soon after completion, 

6. Further assessment Opportunities: Only one further assessment in a year. Whole new procedure, Further teaching and learning, All students, Higher grade is reported. One more re-submission

7. Gathering evidence: assessed when students are ready, students can choose different standards, Different tasks or contexts can be used. Different ways of gathering (oral, digital, naturally occurring)

There is a possibility about Student-led conferences – however we need PD to manage that successfully.
