Route maps through assessment
Minister for Learning, Dr Alasdair Allan recently put in place a package of support for secondary schools to help deliver the new national qualifications. This support included new route maps through Assessment and these are now being published on the Education Scotland website.
Calling all teachers of Access 2 and National 2
We are reviewing Access 2 Units that are not part of a Course. Many of these will be refreshed as new National 2 Units for delivery from August 2015 (when dual running has finished). Others will be replaced by the National 2 Units that are currently available for centres to deliver. You can read our proposals at www.sqa.org.uk/national2 where you can also provide your feedback. The closing date for completing the survey is 31 March 2014.

MAKING ASSESSMENT MEANINGFUL WEBINARS
The first one on 12th March may be of particular interest as it focuses on social science students at Dundee and Angus College who have been using diverse assessment approaches. It will demonstrate how the students show evidence of their learning in a variety of ways including role plays and posters. Lots of students will be progressing to HEIs so you may also be interested in Webinars 2 and 3 as they focus on what the universities are doing re reviewing that there is a shared understanding of assessment standards.
