Supports to Design Quality Assessment

Instructions:

One way of helping you design questions for quality assessment is by looking at examples of written assessment. These include the SEC Sample Paper and the NCCA Assessment Items. These written assessments, with the support of the template of prompt questions and the modes of questions will help you design quality assessment over the course of Junior Cycle.

Task: Take 10 minutes on your own to get familiar with these supports.
