[senco-forum] Assessing for exam arrangements

Hi Anne

The latest from the exam boards is this:

  http://www.jcq.org.uk/attachments/published/347/Changes%20to%20Regulations%20on%20Access%20Arrangements.pdf

  From September 2007, teachers who assess candidates for access arrangements will no longer need JCQ approval of their specialist qualifications. However, JCQ does require that a record is kept of those teachers who will now be conducting the assessments. Therefore, centres must complete and return Form 8A (provided at Appendix B) to the address specified in the notes attached to the form.

  If the link doens't work, go to the JCQ website and follow the links to the Access Arrangements page.

  No mention of any specific course in this.

  I saw in a recent bulletin a statement about the Joint Examination Board
requirement that teachers carrying out assessments for exam arrangements
should have completed a specialist course.
The message seemed to suggest that after 2007 the Board would no longer
insist on this.
I read the message quickly and now can't find it to check, but my
understanding is that the Board has not changed its policy on this. Can
the writer enlighten me - and tell me where the information came from.
Thanks
Ann
