Intended For

Primary and secondary teachers who will be making assessment judgements about EALD learners' achievement and proficiency levels for the CESA EALD data collection

Focus

This year the LEAP Levels are being used for the first time, to conduct the English language proficiency assessments as part of the CESA EALD data collection. With this in mind, an additional, voluntary assessment moderation session is being offered in Week 6 of Term 2, on Thursday 3rd June, to ensure that the LEAP Levels have been applied consistently to assessment of EALD learners' language and that individual assessment decisions are reliable.

Teachers will assess their own students' sets of evidence and have the opportunity to consult with colleagues to clarify and compare assessment judgements using the LEAP Levels.

This session is NOT mandatory but you will need to register to participate.

Please indicate if you will attend for the whole day (9:00 am - 3:30 pm) or half day (12:30 - 3:30 pm).

You will need to bring:

• your willingness to collaborate to moderate assessment decisions (as required)
• A range of your own writing or oral language samples for assessment
  
• LEAP Levels documents
  
• Recording evidence proformas
  
• Stationery that you like to use
