session?

3. Activity
When I say go:
1. Hold your arms vertically up above your
head
2. Move your hands so they are 8 inches apart
3. Turn to the person next to you and
compare your measurement with theirs
Go!

4. Assessment is

5. Fair
An assessment system must not
disadvantage or discriminate

6. Flexible
Ensures each learner’s assessment is:
• ‘done with’
not
• ‘done to’

7. Reliable
The assessment is interpreted and applied
consistently:
• from person to person
and
• from context to context

8. Valid
A valid assessment will assess what it claims
to assess.
A Prostrate check
– checks the prostrate!

by the assessor
