Workshop Description |
With the implementation of the New Senior Secondary Curriculum in Hong Kong, secondary school teachers need to equip themselves by not only familiarizing themselves with the new curriculum, but also by understanding and planning how to deliver fair and reliable assessments. This workshop introduces participants to the general principles of assessments, illustrated with examples from past public examinations. Participants will be engaged in discussions about what constitutes a good assessment as well as how to deliver reliable tests and exams. |
