Professional reading

The policy Curriculum planning and programming, assessing and reporting to parents K-12 requires schools to report student achievement to parents using a five point scale (A-E or equivalent word descriptors) and include a written comment for each subject studied.

This one day workshop addresses reporting requirements and also provides support to teachers with assessment strategies linked to the NSW Quality Teaching Framework. Teachers can use these in their school to assess their students and include in their reports to parents.
