:: Post Assessment Moderation Training
After establishing a brief with the organisation, we design a 1 day workshop that incorporates the learning resources and underpinning knowledge Assessors need to have to verify other Assessors Assessment Decisions and provide professional feedback.
We will use completed samples of assessed work from the learners within your organisation and your internal post assessment moderation forms as the resources for the workshop. A set number of samples will be allocated to each Assessor participating so you will also be meeting some of you internal moderation QA activity at the same time.
The workshop walks through the process of post assessment moderation, including reviewing assessment decisions against the judgment statements and model or indicative responses, observing assessor practice and how the assessor managed the ‘administration’ and reporting of the assessments using your assessment materials.
:: Moderator Training
This is a 2 day course which is broken into two workshops. Pre Assessment Moderation and Post Assessment Moderation. These workshops need to be tailored to the organisation or use assessment material that is ‘common’ across the industry in format.
Pre Assessment Moderation
Candidate Moderators will learn how to apply a process to critique assessment tasks or activities to ensure that a candidate would have the opportunity to produce evidence of their knowledge and or performance against each of the learning outcomes and to meet the assessment requirements outlined in the standard.
Through a workshop activities and using the organisations’ pre assessment moderation forms they will also learn how to determine whether the level of difficulty is appropriate and that the instructions and assessment conditions are clear and fair.
Candidate Moderators will also learn to moderate the components that make up the assessment schedule including the unit standard details, task details &/or evidence and judgment statements against set criteria. The criteria within our process ensures that the material can be used to facilitate or guide the assessor to make consistent decisions. This process will also check that the assessment material has been mapped to the standard and includes all elements and assessment requirements including the performance criteria, range statements and any special notes.
Post Assessment Moderation
We will use completed samples of assessed work from the learners within your organisation and your internal post assessment moderation forms as the resources for the workshop. A set number of samples will be allocated to each Assessor participating so you will also be meeting some of you internal moderation QA activity at the same time.
The workshop walks through the process of post assessment moderation, including reviewing assessment decisions against the judgment statements and model or indicative responses, observing assessor practice and how the assessor managed the ‘administration’ and reporting of the assessments using your assessment materials.
Candidate Moderators will then apply the knowledge , skills and process to your organisation to moderate two sets of assessment material for two different unit standards and verified at least 4 Assessment decisions that need to meet your internal quality assurance, administrative practices and moderation requirements.
This evidence will then be compiled to produce a portfolio of evidence for assessment against unit standards 11551.
