NAPLAN writing test markers gain rich and rewarding experience from reading and assessing a range of writing from Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 students. Markers who complete the training sessions and mark satisfactorily gain recognition from the Victorian Institute of Teaching for professional practice.
NAPLAN writing test markers mark online using a dedicated secure marking platform.
New markers are appointed on the basis of teaching (English) and other relevant experience. Experienced markers are reappointed each year on the basis of marking accuracy and time commitment to the NAPLAN marking project.
Applicants may apply for day or evening marking shifts, although current full-time teachers are expected to apply only for the evening shift.
All markers are required to attend a full-day training session. New markers must also attend an additional introductory training session. Training attendees are paid CRT rates for attending training. Dates for training sessions are yet to be finalised.
Marking the NAPLAN writing test takes around 30 days and includes weekend work. Day markers are required to commit to an average of at least four hours marking each day over the time of the project. Evening markers commit to an average marking time of at least three hours per day.
