Assessment Bank
The Assessment Bank is a rich and varied online collection of assessments and resources linked to the Essential Learnings and Standards. It is designed to support teaching, learning and school-based assessment.
Teachers can access the Assessment Bank as needed to support their curriculum planning, teaching and school-based assessment processes. The Assessment Bank models how assessment can be used to improve student learning.
Assessments are presented as packages. Packages generally contain Teacher guidelines, a Student booklet, a Guide to making judgments and an Indicative A response. Annotated Sample responses will be added after field trials.
Schools can contribute to the development of Sample responses by providing student work samples. To become involved in this process contact the Assessment Bank manager, assessbank.manager@qsa.qld.edu.au.
Assessments and resources can be used in their original form, or customised to meet specific needs.
