Assessment Planning Meeting
You may find that organising and having assessment planning meetings will build a
foundation for the whole assessment process with the candidate. It is a professional
approach to planning assessment, and would be worth the time taken.
Benefits of holding assessment planning meetings:
Helps to set the scene with the candidate and the assessor around what is going
to happen for the assessment(s) of the current unit standard(s).
For a candidate new to assessment, a planning meeting gives them an idea of
what to expect, what‟s involved, and a safe opportunity to ask questions about
assessment in general.
Provides the assessor with a logical structure and opportunity to prepare
themselves and their candidate.
Gives the candidate and assessor and an opportunity to review all the details of
the assessment as well as organise together any observations and verifiers that
may be needed to support the assessment.
Enables the candidate to share any special needs they may have and also give
the assessor a window into any special needs that may need to be addressed
and supported throughout the assessment e.g. English as a second language,
literacy and numeracy issues etc.
Handy Hint
An Assessment Planning Meeting form
can be found in the Appendix of this guide.
It can be used to help the assessor check-off what they have
discussed with the candidate and documents the planning process.
