Quality OTJs are consistent and comparable
Comparable means that similar interpretations of the underlying concepts or skills can be made, using different evidence.
“Students can be set different tasks or tests but demonstrate a common standard of performance.” (Maxwell, 2002, p.16)
An example: A child’s capability to skip count in 2s might be assessed using a PE game, distributing resources, or during a NUMPA assessment. The underlying characteristic is that the child can skip count, regardless of the assessment task or tool used.
