The key responsibilities of the assessor are planning the assessment, the ability to manage and deliver assessments whilst ensuring the integrity of the qualification is maintained and keeping the learner constantly involved within the assessment process. This will be done by assessing the learners knowledge, skills, understanding and competence against awarding bodies set criteria.
Assessors’ key responsibilities can best be defined in three categories:
Planning An essential part of an assessors’ job is to organise and schedule plans for an assessment. They must provide formative checks on learning on a regular basis as well as summative grading of the work at the end of the unit. This will provide the assessor with a guide as to how and when he will give feedback to the learner for …show more content…
They should also give feedback at the end of a given unit of learning. The feedback needs to be constructive, detailed and analytical so the learners can improve their performance accordingly. This will also allow the learner to gauge when an objective has been reached, alternatively it can also assist them in realising when an objective needs re-addressing to achieve the correct grade.
3. Explain the responsibilities of the assessor.
The occupational standards required from the assessor are such that they should show a high level of integrity and a high level of quality that can be verified internally or externally to always give the same assessment outcome.
Employers will always expect a high quality of feedback from any assessment carried out, this feedback is the foundation of the students’ progress and is therefore deemed to show the progress of the organisations.
Assessors also need to:
• Assess all learners according to EAL assessment specifications and documentation
• Ensure all evidence produced by learners is sufficient to meet EAL
