Achieving your Assessment and Quality Assurance Units (TAQA)
Further Education and Skills
It includes:
*cross references to the qualification units and the national occupational standards;
*two new chapters covering the external quality assurance role;
*completed examples of templates and forms for assessors, internal and external quality assurers;
*ideas for evidence that can be used towards achievement of each unit;
*new bullet lists, tables and checklists.
TAQA, and other assessor and quality assurer trainees will find this text both an invaluable resource for their course and useful handbook to take into practice. Please note: This book has since been updated into two books: Principles and Practices of Assessment, and Principles and Practices of Quality Assurance.
The book is well structured and the internal quality assurance qualifications well laid out. Assessor checklist particularly effective, with plenty of case study examples to engage readers, as well as extension activities. Essential reading.
A good book for new assessors which outlines the course requirements. Recommended to all learners on the programmes.
Very useful guidance to support the assessor element for new teachers who are involved in assessing within their role. Clear and logical layout with a very easy to read style. I particularly liked the detail of the different assessment methods with their strengths and limitations - has given me some ideas for changing some of the assessment methods I use myself.
Added to reading list & copies ordered for learning centre.
The additional chapter on EQA is very useful for 403 as well
Another good book from Ann Gravells that simplifies the TAQA units and gives guidance for assignment completion. A good book to support the Assessment unit within the Award in Education and Training.
Ann Gravells always writes an informative and usable text.
