Lead Assessor Support Programme
'Learning to lead assessment in the EYFS, primary, secondary, further education and skills sectors.'
About the programme
This 10-week modular programme is designed to support those working in assessment in early years, primary, secondary, college and other training or workplace settings. The programme covers key aspects of the assessment process delivered to participants through a blend of online learning theory modules delivered by the CIEA, real-life examples of how certain aspects are currently being implemented in specific settings along with suggested activities to support putting theory into practice in your assessment context. Each programme is designed to meet the specific context presented by the different phases of education and training.
The programme is hosted online, so you can access it at a time convenient to you. There are also fortnightly live Q&A sessions held over Zoom, in which you can share best practice and seek support from our expert course leaders and other course participants.
The modules include:
- Approaches to Assessment
- Ensuring Consistency & Moderation
- Introduction to Data
- Leading the Assessment Process
The Lead Assessor Support Programme is intended to support senior staff to lead the assessment processes and practices in their assessment context. Whilst this programme can be offered to individual assessors, it is beneficial and has greater impact if more than one educator from an assessment centre undertakes the course together. This provides an opportunity for colleagues to discuss and audit the assessment processes in their own setting and cascade high quality practice in educational assessment with a view to making positive change in their department, over their whole school or setting.
Please note, there are separate EYFS, primary, secondary, and Post 16 course instances of the Lead Assessor Support Programme. Should there be insufficient numbers to make an instance of the course viable, delegates will be offered a place on the next available course.
