Making judgments
Building student success: A guide to the Queensland Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Framework provides advice about how to develop quality assessment that is aligned with the Essential Learnings and Standards. See Chapter 7: Developing quality school-based assessment.
Using feedback
Assessment alone will not contribute to improved learning. It is what teachers and students do with assessment and other available information that makes a difference.
For factsheets about feedback see:
Moderation
The achievement standards guide teacher judgment about how well children have achieved. The most effective way to build consistent and comparable on-balance teacher judgment is through planned activities when teachers — in partnership or team situation — engage in focused professional dialogue to discuss and analyse the quality of children's work, compare their judgments about children's achievement and determine the match between the evidence in children's work and standards. This process is known as moderation.
