  1. Consistency of teacher judgement Technology subjects (7-12)

  2. What is consistency? • Consistency in relation to assessment occurs when teachers are able to make judgements about student learning that are not dependent on the individual teacher, student, location or time and are based on a shared understanding of syllabus standards of learning.

  3. Consistency of assessment judgements Consistency of assessment judgements needs to occur: • across assessment tasks • across teachers of different classes at a school • across time (over a period of years) • across schools. Establishing procedures and structures to provide sufficient time on a regular basis for teacher professional dialogue about teaching, learning and assessment is the key to enhancing consistency.

  4. How is consistency developed? Consistency comes about when teachers work collaboratively: • to plan teaching programs which clearly state the intended learning • to develop common understandings of assessment practices and/or tasks which reflect the syllabus • to examine student work against the standard of the syllabus. The single biggest issue facing teachers as they design assessments has nothing to do with assessment per se but with having a clear understanding of the learning outcomes they should have for students. (Arter 1998)

  5. Faculty planning for consistency The teachers of each technology subject in the school should collaborate to: • discuss and interpret the intentions of the syllabus and the syllabus standards • prepare course plans, units of work and assessment plans (aligned to reporting periods) that reflect syllabus outcomes, content and requirements • prepare assessment tasks, including agreed assessment criteria, to reflect the syllabus standards • implement moderation processes that enable consistent and comparable judgements to be made about the work of the cohort of students.
