Assessment program audit tool BCT 2012
Business Communication and Technologies 2012The purpose of this audit tool is to enable schools to compare the requirements of their assessment program with the minimum assessment requirements of the syllabus, and to subsequently consider possible amendments to their school work program.
Assessment instruments required in Year 12 (including objectives and dimensions assessed)
Conditions required by the syllabus — e.g. word length, time, genre
School assessment instruments (including objectives and dimensions assessed)
Conditions in school work program
Variations
Refer to syllabus verification and post-verification requirements
Refer to the syllabus assessment section
Refer to the school’s approved work program
Refer to the school’s approved work program
How does the school’s assessment program differ from syllabus requirements?
Verification requirements
A minimum of four instruments and a maximum of six instruments demonstrating a range of techniques, including: evidence of each dimension
being assessed at least three times before verification
one supervised written assessment, which must assess at least two dimensions
