A step-by-step guide to using The EverLearner's Centralised Assessment Model
What are Centralised Assessment Models?
The Centralised Assessment Model consists of:
- a centrally-designed and high-quality assessment model for every PE/Sport course;
- model exams that specifically target the content areas of each section of a course AND the skills by which these content areas are typically assessed;
- interleaved model exams so that new and previous learning is appropriately assessed together;
- in the range of between seven and nine assessments per course plus a National Mock Exam.
