Dear colleague

Welcome back to the 2012 school year. I hope you had a safe and relaxing break and are feeling refreshed.

I would like to draw your attention to some very important information that was published in a Special Edition of the December 2011 VCE, VCAL and VET VCAA Bulletin. This Supplement covers 2012 VCE School based assessment audit and review, in particular new processes that all teachers need to be aware of. This includes the application of statistical moderation to School-assessed Task scores in all studies that have SATs as part of the assessment.

The link to this Special Edition December Bulletin Supplement is:
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/correspondence/bulletins/2011/December/2011DECSUP1.pdf

The February 2012 VCAA Bulletin Supplement 1 Administrative Advice for School-based Assessment should be available shortly (I expect sometime today) on the VCAA website at:
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/correspondence/index.html
This supplement contains: Administrative Advice on School-based assessment, Technology Studies Teacher Additional Comment sheet and information on how to fill this sheet in,  Scope of the task, Assessment criteria, performance descriptors, School-assessed Task Assessment sheets and study specific authentication record sheets.
Dates for Information Sessions for School-assessed Tasks conducted by the VCAA in March are also published in the February Bulletin Supplement 1.

If you have not already subscribed to the VCAA Bulletin Online, you can do so at http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/correspondence/bulletins/bulletinonlinesubcribe.html


All the best for a smooth start,
Lorraine.
