Australian Research Council Linkage Project

Improving teacher assessment capability using scaled annotated exemplars of achievement standards in online moderation (English, Science and Maths Years 4, 6, and 8)
AISWA teachers are invited to participate in the above research project which aims to develop an online platform of student exemplars with related annotations.
Teacher participation will offer a unique professional learning opportunity to enhance understanding of A-E judgements. Teachers will also benefit from the opportunity to develop their skills in constructing commentaries of their judgement decisions. Upon completion, a statement outlining the activities and number of hours of participation in the project will be provided.
Principal permission is required before contacting researchers directly.
