VCE assessment
Analysing your school’s VCE results
The VCAA invites you to participate in a series of professional learning sessions early next year on analysing your school’s VCE results. These sessions are for school staff responsible for delivering the VCE and wanting to use data available through the VCE Data Service and VCE External Assessment Results Service.
These sessions will build knowledge and skills in using the VCE assessment results to:
- identify strengths and weaknesses in your school’s VCE performance, particularly VCE studies
- inform professional learning discussions with teacher colleagues around improving student outcomes.
The training will be delivered in 4 modules each offered on 3 dates:
- study score and statistical moderation
- external assessments and indicative grades
- VCE Data Service and adjusted scores
- Student Longitudinal Progress
If you are interested in participating in the sessions, you will need to register for each separately. Once you register, a link and instructions will be sent to you before the session.
