At Homebush Public School, teachers will observe the above principles in their assessment
practices. Further, teachers will observe the following principles whenever they are involved
in grade or stage assessments.
The teacher designing the assessment must remain cognizant of the whole grade (or
stage) and design an assessment which is fair to all students involved.
The assessment task should be presented to all involved teachers at a meeting prior
to its administration. Suggestions and differences should be discussed and resolved.
All teachers involved should collaboratively establish the protocols to be adopted
during the administration of the assessment (eg What does the teacher say? Can
the teacher read parts of the paper for students? How much time is allowed for the
assessment? Is it an “open book” assessment? etc).
All students across the grade (or stage) should complete the assessment at the same
time or during the same teaching session. This will prevent some students from
gaining an unfair advantage over others by discussing the content of the assessment
before attempting it.
The marking of the assessment must remain consistent, confidential and fair for all
students. If necessary, one teacher should mark all assessments.
Reporting of results to students should be within a reasonable period and
confidential.
