Assessment Policy
14
QSA Assessment Policy

• Assessment is the purposeful and systematic
  collection of information about students
  achievements.
• All Queensland students deserve to benefit from
  high-quality assessment programs.

15
Quality Assessment

• Quality learning outcomes for students are best
  produced when what is taught informs what is
  assessed, and when what is assessed forms the
  basis of what is reported.

16
School-based assessment

• Teachers use the processes and requirements
  outlined in the syllabuses to design assessment
  programs and make judgments about standards
  achieved by their students, including summative
  judgments for reporting purposes at key junctures.
