The SEQTA experience for the Carramar Secondary School community
Cover Page
The purpose of the cover page is to contain an overview of the course. It should be an easy reference for information about the entire year of work.
It contains a copy (or a link) to the assessment schedule, program and syllabus.
Assessments
o The assessment schedule should be developed at the start of the year. Lower school students are to have the entire semester of assessments visible to parents and students. Year 11 and 12 are to have the entire year’s assessments visible
o Assessment titles should include the weighting and clear labels that are succinct.
o Task sheet/assessment description and marking guide/rubric are to be added at an appropriate time.
o Marks for summative assessments should be made visible, within three weeks of the assessment being finalised.
o If there is more than one class, all marks are to be made visible at the same time.
o Exam marks are to be released at the end of the exam period.
o Formative assessments can be visible with a weighting of zero.
o Assessment feedback will be placed in the Marks Book on a regular basis.
(Lesson) Planning
Students, parents/carers and other staff should be able to see what has been planned on a week-by-week basis (as a minimum). Clarity in lesson naming is essential.
Lesson Resources
It should be clear where students can access resources and links. Students may be required to enter homework themselves on occasion.
Documents Section
This is used to store documents that parents/carers might need to access at any point of the year.
Documents include anything from a Parent Information Night slide show, Curriculum Handbooks, and the Assessment Policy.
