VCE VET Scored Assessment Workshops 2016

VCE VET Scored Assessment Workshops 2016

In March 2016, the VCAA will conduct a series of professional development workshops for teachers/trainers and assessors of scored VCE VET programs.

Workshop content

The workshops will include:

feedback on the 2015 coursework audit procedure and outcomes
information on grouping units of competency/modules and selecting task types
activities to assist in designing or revising tasks to assess units of competency/modules and comply with VCAA task requirements
use of VCAA material supporting scored assessment (i.e. frameworks for task types and planning and mapping documents)
advice on using the VCE VET scoring criteria
an appraisal of sample tasks with the appropriate state reviewer
networking opportunities to share tasks and ideas with other assessors whilst preparing tasks for 2016.

What to bring

All assessors are asked to bring:

the units of competency/modules in the Units 3 and 4 sequence that you deliver
previously developed and draft coursework tasks
your assessment plan (if available)
program outline (structure, timing and assessment schedule) if available
other resources or information you are prepared to share.

Workshop activities

The workshop activities are designed for all teachers/trainers and assessors of scored VCE VET programs. Participants will be assigned into groups based on program areas.

New assessors

New assessors in 2016 should familiarise themselves with the structure and details of the scored assessment process by reading the relevant materials: the relevant assessment guide, sample assessment plans, VET coursework assessment records (VCARs), and scoring criteria sheets. These documents can be found on the VCAA website:

A PowerPoint presentation comprising an overview of scored assessment will be emailed to all new assessors prior to their workshops.

Copies of all VCAA documentation will be available for participants at the workshops.
