Plan to collect appropriate information
What evidence we collect and how we collect it, depends on our purpose, the type of information needed and the intended use.
- For daily teaching and learning purposes one-off informal judgments might be used, for example, observations during teaching, recorded comments in modelling books, or student self-assessment, such as highlighting indicators on a matrix.
- For reporting and accountability purposes, judgments need to be more extensive, formal, consistent and comparable.
- The evidence we collect should be fair and appropriate to ensure it promotes consistent and comparable judgments.
