This report provides updated evidence-based advice on the selection of evidence sets to include in National Evidence for use in Stage 1 jurisdictional/sectoral moderation processes. The updated advice follows input from the ACT Teacher Quality Institute on the results of the Certification Pilot (Pegg, McPhan, & Hardy, 2013). This report should be read in conjunction with Moderation Advice, which outlines a proposed moderation process than can be implemented within jurisdictions/sectors. The advice on moderation and National Evidence have been provided within a broader project (20-278).
This report identifies evidence sets that would be appropriate for jurisdictions/sectors to utilise in assessing assessor accuracy at the beginning of the Stage 1 moderation process proposed in Moderation Advice. The evidence sets that have been reviewed have been sourced from both successful and unsuccessful Certification applications. Therefore, the range includes evidence sets that clearly meet Descriptors/Standards, are borderline or clearly do not meet Descriptors/Standards.
