VCAL Quality Assurance 2013
VCAL Quality Assurance 2013
The information contained in this VCAL Quality Assurance Kit is aimed at providing clear guidelines for the quality assurance of teachers’ professional judgements about assessment of VCAL units and the design of VCAL unit tasks.
Quality Assurance (QA) is an important part of the VCAL and all Principals/Directors should allow appropriate staff to participate in the VCAL QA process and attend VCAL QA meetings if required to do so. The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) strongly recommends that the same teacher who completes the sample assessment task template also attends the QA meeting/s.
Providers who do not participate in the regional VCAL quality assurance process may be required to submit all their VCAL units to an audit by the VCAA.
