[Year 12 SofDev] Does anyone have a Unit 3 Outcome 2 exemplar?

Sat Mar 30 15:30:35 EST 2013

Hi Andrew,

It isn't a biggy. I found a copy of a report which looks like mine (from VASS). I was told that I should be aiming for the dark mustard line in the middle. Where as mine is in about the same position as the blue line is in this slide. "Shows school's assessment scale is more challenging than the State Scale". It has been suggested that this might be why I was put down for auditing this year. (Who knows, might be a Furphy!!)

Thanks,

Simone

hi Simone

It is my understanding that the actual mark is irrelevant. It is the RANK order that is important. Also that none of your top ten students have the same total mark at the end of the year unless you totally believe that they are exactly the same in terms of the quality of work produced. EXACTLY the same.

the work that yo are assessing in SACs is intellectually different to what is assessed in the exam. Your marks are only there to create a rank order.  VCAA uses that rank order to assign the students a mark based on the whole groups' exam results. WHOLE group. not the individual.

thus it does nto matter how hard you mark - just get the rank order absolutely correct. in terms of the work that you see - NOT in terms of their exam.

In my opinion, as long as the task meets the requirements and the assessment is sufficient to discriminate (create a spread of marks in your class), then you can use a hard or easy marking scheme – it’s up to you.  You need to be able to justify the way you have come up with the scheme or the way you have marked.

Last year I was too hard in my marking for ITA, according to VCAA. This year teaching SD for the first time in 5 years. Trying to ease off a bit, but worried about marking too easy. Looking at what others expect would help a bit to work out how to mark this next sac.
