[Tran, Lorraine I]

Dear colleague

 

The February VCE Bulletin Supplement 1 2011 Administrative advice for
school-based assessment is now on the VCAA website.

There are significant changes to the Food and Technology scope of task,
criteria and performance descriptors because a new Food and Technology
Study Design (accreditation period 2011 - 2015) is being implemented
this year.

 

For all studies, you will notice some changes on the assessment sheet.
These include: 

-          the word 'Subtotals' has been added and refers to the marks
you add up at the end of each column for very high, high, etc.  

-          the words 'Total Score' replaces 'Numerical summary'

-          the 'grade allocated' box has been moved to the bottom of the
sheet, and the words 'Unconfirmed teacher grade' are used

-          UG is now included in the 'Key to grade allocation' box and
assigned a score range.

-          The Advice to teachers blurb on top of the assessment sheet
has been altered to accommodate the changes outlined above.

 

Please contact me if you have any queries. 

 

Please note that I have a new mobile number (see below).

 

As the school year starts, I would like to wish you all the best for a
very productive 2011.

 

Regards, Lorraine.
