Memorandum to Schools 63/2008

24 July 2008

On Demand Professional Development - Metropolitan Centres - August 2008

The VCAA is conducting a series of Professional Development training programs in Melbourne Metropolitan venues for those schools using or intending to use the On Demand testing application for the first time this year. This follows the On Demand training programs that were held in country Regional centres in May and June 2008.

Intended audience include Assessment and Reporting Coordinators, Curriculum Coordinators, interested teachers and DEECD Central and Regional Office administrators.

1. All PD sessions are subject to demand and will be held from 1.00pm to 3.30pm. A morning session may be run if there is sufficient demand.
2. Allocation to the sessions is on a first come first served basis.
3. As places are limited, a maximum of two places will be allocated to each school.
4. The training programs have been developed as computer based two and a half hour, “hands-on” introductory sessions and will focus on test setup processes and administration including the proposed new Progress Test function. The Teacher Training Guide for On Demand Testing will be used in the training exercises. A copy may be downloaded from the VCAA website from the link below.
5. Schools are requested to return the attached Expression of Interest Form to Ms Val Dobson, Administrative Support Unit, by fax 9651 4551 or email vcaa.ondemand.support@edumail.vic.gov.au  NO LATER THAN THURSDAY 7 AUGUST 2008.
