Professional Learning | Courses | Certified Educational Assessor
In the CEA course, educators develop and extend their understanding of valid and reliable assessments. They acquire the necessary skills to construct, analyse and evaluate assessment practices and enhance their critical and reflective thinking capability for application to their practice. Educators will also develop their leadership capacity in assessment and work collaboratively with colleagues to improve outcomes for students.
CEA participants develop evidence that could be used to meet the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at the Highly Accomplished or Lead Teacher career stage.
Course structure
The CEA course comprises five modules and a case study, with each module intended to improve expertise in different areas of assessment practice.
Each module provides eight hours of professional learning; six hours of face-to-face professional learning presented by experienced and qualified Prescient team members, and two hours of supporting activities to consolidate learning.

Assessment
Participants in the CEA complete:
- an assessment task per module
- a case study.
The case study provides an opportunity to critically reflect on teaching, learning and assessment practices in an agreed context that has relevance for the participant's practice. A key part of conducting the case study is the collection and examination of a folio of qualitative and quantitative evidence.
The case study comprises:
- a folio of 4,000 words
- a report of 1,500 - 2,000 words.
The folio includes the five assessment tasks completed for each of the CEA modules and key evidence used in conducting the case study.
AITSL and TRB requirements
Each module is referenced to the AITSL Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. These modules meet the requirements for accumulation of standards referenced professional learning hours required by teacher registration boards (TRB).
There is an opportunity for educators to develop evidence that could be used to meet the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at the Highly Accomplished or Lead career stages.
