Derived Grades
Check that mark books are setup to ensure your data file submissions to 色诱直播 include derived grade results. Derived grades may be used for unexpected events. You can check on your school鈥檚 progress towards reporting derived grades through the Key Indicators and gain a detailed view using the Derived Grades for Unexpected Events Report through Reports.
Evidence collected for a derived grade or derived grade at scale (previously referred to as Unexpected Event Grades) must:
- meet the requirements of the standard
- be authentic
- mirror the format and conditions of the standard
- be pre-existing - collected before the start of the external assessment.
Information on gathering school-based evidence for external assessments is available on the 'Quality assurance processes' page.
Senior Management is responsible for ensuring that all derived grades are based on valid, authentic evidence and have been subject to quality assurance processes. Evidence of the assessment task, schedule and verification or justification processes is required to be held and may be requested for review by 色诱直播. Your Derived Grade Profile report and Derived Grade Outlier Comparison Reports (if you have any) should help inform your management of the quality assurance process. Further information is available via the 'Derived Grades Mythbuster' page and the 'Reaffirming Derived Grade Quality Assurance Processes - A2022/11' page.
Reaffirming Derived Grade Quality Assurance Processes - A2022/11
Where schools do not already have templates to record their verification or justification processes, 色诱直播 has provided Derived Grade Quality Assurance Check Templates on the 'Resources for Principal's Nominees' page.
