Education Scotland, in partnership with SQA, has published a resource to support the making of good assessment decisions.  The resource consists of a ‘Wall’ poster and a ‘Desk’ poster. 

The posters illustrate the stages of quality assurance when making assessment decisions. Assessment 3-18 must be valid, reliable, fair and manageable for all involved and must be consistently applied for all learners in all centres. 

The posters can be used by local authorities, schools, colleges and other stakeholders to support the development of moderation/verification practices and as a platform for discussion.

Further support materials to exemplify these resources are in development and will be available by the end of the year.
