Resubmission (one further go) is available in some instances for internal assessments. It is allowed if a student has missed out on gaining an achieved grade because of one or two mistakes.
The student must be able to identify their own errors.
Must rework only those answers that were not sufficient.
The teacher cannot tell them what to do, only that they have one opportunity to fix their work.
Oral conferencing may occur where the teacher converses with the student and the student explains and fixes their error.
A resubmission opportunity is completely at the discretion of the teacher. The highest grade a student may obtain is Achieved.
The issue of reassessment applies only to internally assessed standards. Reassessment tasks, although designed to assess the same standard, will not be the same task as the original one. There will be only one reassessment opportunity offered and only where it is appropriate.
There is no reassessment opportunity for externally assessed Achievement Standards other than sitting the assessment tasks in the following year.
The decision to provide reassessment opportunities is up to the professional judgement of the HoLA.
A further assessment opportunity is possible for all students to improve their grade. If they meet the required standard on their second attempt, they will have the appropriate level of their achievement recorded and reported. Students are given credit for the level they achieve in the reassessment.
It is the decision of the HOLA if, and when, the reassessment opportunities take place. Absence from this will require an extension from the Principal's Nominee, please e-mail: ncea@hillmorton.school.nz
