Assessment Tools: The essential ingredients

Even with a packet cake, there are certain additions required to get the right end result.

As part of the 2019 Focus Week - Assessment, this session will discuss the key ingredients we cannot afford to miss adding to the mix when creating assessments.

Assessment is one of the biggest challenges for RTOs at audit, and this session will address some of the fundamentals, including:

• The difference between an assessment instrument and an assessment tool
• Ideal characteristics of an assessment tool
• How to apply assessment characteristics in various assessment methodologies
• Confirming the developed product is going to meet the needs for which it is intended
• How the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence apply in the development of assessment tools

Focus in the VET sector is on quality training and assessment and the experiences of students throughout their journey.  Assessment underpins what we’re doing so it makes sense to make sure we’re getting it right.  Templates and guides are available to help us toward a great recipe for a Quality Assessment system, and if you need a little zest to your menu, the Assessment Bundle is available now.

Register for this Focus Week session to hear about the key components required for quality assessment tools, how to combine them to achieve the right consistency, and the processes required to review and test the batch for a sweet result.

Please note: This session is BYO chocolate!
