Australian Writing Survey

17/7/2017

0 Comments

 
NESA is conducting the Australian Writing Survey in partnership with Learning Sciences Institute Australia and Australian Catholic University. The survey aims to identify ways to resource the teaching of writing in Australian schools and provide teachers with more support such as subject-specific professional development.

It is important for all teachers to provide input via the survey as writing is a core function for all teachers, especially with the new minimum literacy standard (including writing). 

The survey asks teachers to reflect on teaching practice and strategies to teach writing to students within your KLA. It should take about 30 minutes to complete the survey and data will be confidential and de-identified.  

Completing the survey will contribute one hour of NESA registered PD addressing 6.2.2 form the APST towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

Further information and the link to the survey can be accessed on the NESA site.

NESA OFFICIAL NOTICE: New Stage 6 school-based assessment requirements

17/7/2017

0 Comments

 
NESA has released the new school based assessment requirements for Languages, which become effective from Term 1 2018 for Year 11, and Term 4 2018 for Year 12.

New school-based assessment requirements, and new sample assessment schedules, for all Stage 6 Languages courses are now available.

The review of school-based assessment requirements in these courses does not require amendments to the current syllabuses or impact on current course HSC Examination Specifications.

Implementation of new school-based assessment requirements for all Stage 6 Languages courses will commence with Year 11 from Term 1 2018, and Year 12 from Term 4 2018.

The new requirements reflect the Stronger HSC Standards  reforms and provide a consistent approach to school-based assessment for all Stage 6 courses.

New requirements for all Stage 6 courses include:
- mandatory components and weightings for both Year 11 and Year 12 courses
- a cap on the number of formal assessment tasks to three in Year 11 and four in Year 12
- a cap on the number of formal written examination tasks that mimic the HSC examination to one per course,    with a maximum weighting of 30% for the Year 12 course.


Further information regarding Principles of Assessment for Stage 6 and the background to changes to Stage 6 assessment is available on the NESA website.

​The Languages and Culture team are updating the Stages 4-6 sections of the new curriculum website.
 
We are in the process of converting relevant resources which were available on the old CK12 website and HSC Online and making them compliant with the NSW government’s accessibility requirements. New resources are also being developed.
 
We would like to offer teachers the opportunity to share their resources. If you have an innovative unit of work, assessment task or resource that you would like to be published on the curriculum website, please email
janelle.byrne@det.nsw.edu.au, attaching the resources you would like considered for publication.
 
Your name and school would be credited on the publication.
  
We look forward to receiving and showcasing the wonderful work of languages teachers.
 
For future reference please bookmark the Languages page of the new website and explore some of the resources available.
