Classroom-based assessments (CBAs) are now an integral part of the student learning experience in Junior Cycle and are causing a lot of stress among students, teachers and in homes throughout the country. The purpose of this two-hour face-to-face seminar is to demystify the CBA process for students and provide them with a step-by-step framework for the preparation and completion of the CBA.
This workshop will demonstrate how CBAs provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate their learning and skills in ways not possible in a pen-and-paper exam; for example, their verbal communication and investigation skills.
The aim of the workshop is to build confidence and expertise in the process by providing a toolkit that is both age and stage appropriate for second and third year students to enable them to reach ‘exceptional’ learning and outcomes in their CBAs.
