Description:  

The SACE Board invites Moderators and Supervisors to a dedicated in-person training session, as part of a new initiative designed to enhance your experience and strengthen collaboration. 

This pilot program will explore the benefits of in-person training to inform future training models and ongoing improvement of our assessment panel processes. 

Six selected subjects will participate in the pilot: 

• Spiritualities, Religion, and Meaning 
• Earth and Environmental Science 
• English 
• Physical Education 
• Scientific Studies  
• Community Connections 

During this session, you will: 

• Deepen your understanding of moderator and/or supervisor roles and responsibilities 
• Build stronger connections with your moderation team and SACE staff 
• Engage in discussion of PLATO benchmarking samples and assessment decisions 
• Strengthen your understanding and application of performance standards 

Key information: 

• Attendance is strongly encouraged but not compulsory 
• Attendees will receive payment for participation 
• This session replaces the need to complete PLATO onboarding, calibration, and subject-specific training, as well as online moderation meetings  
• If you’re unable to attend in person, PLATO training must still be completed  
• Please bring your laptop and headphones to access SACE systems  
• If you have been appointed to multiple subjects, please select one subject to attend in person. PLATO training and online moderation meetings will still be required for any additional subjects
