Updates on School-based Assessment (SBA) School Leaders’ Briefing Session 5 March 2012

Updates on SBA S6 Submissions for 2012 HKDSE SBA Streamlining Arrangements

S6 Submissions for 2012 HKDSE Scheduled to be completed by 20 Mar 2012 Review of SBA marks/work samples and SBA moderation conducted in Feb – May 2012 Moderation for network programmes Review and improve the submission arrangements in light of the 2012 experience

Moderation for Network Programmes Some schools join together to offer network programme for NSS subject(s) If students from these “network schools” are taught and assessed by the same teacher(s) using the same assessment standards, it would be desirable to group these students into a single moderation group, so that students within the network will receive comparable moderated results Schools will be requested to confirm whether they have formed such networks in S6 this year (for the 12 subjects with SBA in 2012 HKDSE only) through a school circular, to be issued in mid Mar 2012
