Questioning Stem

Thank you Rachel for your submissions. You have accurately described the Quality Assurance Process for the Marshall Group. You provided accurate and effective guidance for the Rebekah case study enabling the apprentice to appeal against a decision.
You have suggested appropriate question stems to ascertain a variety of evidence from learners. I have attached a Bloom’s questioning stem which covers higher order questioning. Take a look at this and consider how you could apply this to your own practice.
Your feedback in the medal and mission activity is a mixture of narrative and feedback. Try to use this in your practice to develop this skill further.
You have described your strengths and areas for development to plan questions to enable holistic assessment and reduce leading learners. How do you plan to follow these up?

Congratulations Rachel on completing the knowledge module. We really hope you have enjoyed this process and found the format suitable.

At the end of session 4 I understand quality assurance and what quality procedures we have in place at my organisation. I also understand how to ask questions and give feedback, and have been able to apply this in my own practice.

IQA stands for internal quality assurance. The role of an internal quality assurer is to monitor the teaching, learning and assessment activities which the learners are undertaking. They may do this by observing assessors with learners, or looking over assessment records/decisions and the learner’s work. The IQA will then make a judgement as to whether the assessor has completed the assessment in a satisfactory way and made fair decisions. This way they can provide feedback to the assessors, and suggest any changes that may need to be made. The IQA will evaluate the whole assessment process to ensure a high and consistent standard is being met by all assessors.

Rachel - you have made excellent progress. Module 1-3 are now complete.
SPAG errors have been eradicated and your explanations are concise and relevant.
Daniel case study- this work is particularly well written and presented. You have provided many opportunities for Daniel to succeed and flourish. Justifications are also provided to back up strategies.
Evaluation -assessment planning You have identified a good range of strengths and appropriate areas for development Rachel.

The evidence you have provided for modules 1-3 is excellent Rachel. I look forward to reviewing module 4.

Well done

At the end of session 3 I understand how to plan an assessment, what important factors there are to consider and how to involve the learner/organisation in the assessment planning.

You have worked hard to produce meaningful evidence of your understanding in particular the work on regulations that you have completed.  The document on principles of assessment clearly shows your understanding and may be reviewed once you have been able to observe the EPA process.  You work is accurate and contains minimal SPAG errors which may be eliminated with further proofreading. Particularly with the confusion of the word formative which was used instead of summative.

Holistic is the idea that the whole of something is made up of parts. This can be applied to assessment, where different learning objectives are related and complex. Holistic assessment means to assess several aspects at the same time. During an EPA, assessment will need to be made against a number of criteria.

The main benefit of using holistic assessment is that several factors can be assessed at one time, allowing a complete evaluation of the learner to be made. This is particularly important for EPAs, as the assessment takes place over a short period of time (one day). It is vital that the learner is given the opportunity to demonstrate all the skills needed to meet the standard criteria. For example, during the observation, the learner will be displaying multiple different skills that are required for their particular type of work. It is also useful as learner’s will all have different job roles, so the types of skills may differ slightly and will be demonstrated in different ways.

At the end of session 1 I understand what assessment is, the different methods and the advantages/disadvantages of these methods. I now understand the planning and organisation that is required for assessment and apply this in my own practice.
