Assessment and reporting in languages 7-10 – registered PL available in Term 4

In Term 4, the Languages and Culture team is delivering Assessment and reporting in 7-10 – new languages syllabuses workshops.

The workshops are for language teachers of Stages 4 and 5 from NSW public schools, and are NESA registered for 5 hours. They will be delivered through Microsoft Teams.

This course leads you through the changes you'll need to make to assessment and reporting in order to align with the new K-10 syllabuses.

There are 4 workshops planned for Term 4:

• Monday 26 October

• Friday 6 November

• Thursday 12 November

• Tuesday 24 November.

More events, both through Teams and face-to-face workshops, will be available in 2021.

The learning intentions of the course are:

- understand the difference between assessment as, for and of learning, and a task-based approach to assessment of learning

- understand the Common Grade Scale and the newly released Course Performance Descriptors for languages and understand their application in determining student achievement of course outcomes

- explore sample marking guidelines and draft marking guidelines differentiated across 5 grades (A-E) for one task

- write quality assessment tasks and design marking criteria that clearly describe student achievement

- understand how to report on student achievement in line with the new syllabus and tailored for the school context.
