Hi Kevork,<BR><BR>Re Progression Points & semester subjects<BR><BR>When we thought we had to do ICT progression points (we have recently found out that Catholic schools don't until next year - <EM>phew...)</EM> we had set up our marking schemes so that the percentage mark that led to to progression point in Sem 1 had to be different for Sem 2 to make them the same. Because you're right - you are teaching the same stuff, so why should a kid doing it in Semester 2 get a lower progression point than a kid who did exactly the same work in Semester 1? Just because they're possibly six months older?<BR><BR>It's really nonsensical, but it was the only way we could make it work for us. We just keep hoping all this silly A-E reporting stuff will soon disappear...<BR><BR>> <BR>> Hi Folks,<BR>> <BR>> I hate to do this, but I haven't heard from the reporting list so I am<BR>> cross posting this for your advice please.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> >>> Kevork Krozian 6/06/2007 10:29 am >>><BR>> Hi Folks,<BR>> <BR>> Consider this dilemma ,<BR>> <BR>> Students do a compulsory elective of ICT in 1 semester of Year 9 ( or<BR>> Yr 10 for that matter ). All students will do this elective, either in<BR>> Sem 1 or Sem 2. It is the same work for both semesters. Student X does<BR>> Sem 1, student Y does Sem 2. They are twins.<BR>> <BR>> Both attain a progression point of 5.5 . However, student X gets a<BR>> grade of B and student Y gets a grade of C for the same work. So , how<BR>> do we explain this to parents ? They are both achieving the same , yet<BR>> score different grades by the randomness of elective selection and<BR>> different stages ( or ages ) of assessment .<BR>> <BR>> How do we reconcile this ?<BR>> <BR>> Look forward to your replies<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Kevork Krozian<BR>> IT Manager , Forest Hill College<BR>> k.krozian@fhc.vic.edu.au <BR>> http://www.fhc.vic.edu.au <BR>> Mobile: 0419 356 034<BR>> ___
