Subject: Re: Enhancing validity of assessments!

Morning
Having trained and assessed literally hundreds of people in the assessor qualification, I would offer one tip for improving assessments: encourage assessors to look very hard at the verbs in the elements of competence and performance criteria. The verbs, along with a good understanding of strengths and weakness of individual evidences are the key to valid assessments. Perhaps our guests could spend some time describing the nature of validity and why it is the primary principle of CBA.

Also could someone describe what exactly is meant by assessment tasks and the suggested bank? Perhaps Evidence Guides could be considered as a worthy alternative.

Cheers
Paul
