A competent assessor evaluates home-educated learners' academic performance against required standards, ensuring that assessments reflect genuine educational attainment.
AHEA helps parents by providing guidance on assessment requirements, best practices for maintaining evidence of learning, and connecting them with qualified assessors.
Parents should maintain a portfolio that includes written work, tests, projects, presentations, and any other evidence that showcases their child's learning.
Section 51 outlines the legal requirements for assessing home-educated learners, mandating that assessments are conducted by competent assessors at the end of specified educational phases.
