Enhancing Assessment Practice

This module will benefit you and your setting in a wide variety of ways. Over the duration of the course, you will:

1. Enhance your professional practice and the skills you can bring to your setting, by learning how to use an extended range of approaches and tests for assessing and reporting different learner needs
2. Be able to take the lead on testing and assessment in your setting by critiquing current educational assessment practice and psychometric test administration and making recommendations for the future
3. Meet the needs of all students in your setting by developing the skills to select, administer and interpret test scores from a range of tests for cognitive, attainment and social-emotional needs
4. Build your profile across your setting by developing your skills in communicating feedback and recommendations through report-writing and oral feedback to test takers, their parents and other educators

It is expected that delegates starting this module will have already completed the Certificate of Competence in Educational Testing (CCET) either studied individually, or as part of the Certificate of Competence in Educational Testing, Assessment and Access Arrangements (CPT3A). 

You will need to be working in an educational setting for this module. If you aren’t currently working in an educational setting you will need written permission from a senior member of staff to regularly access a setting.
