General Information
Panel members
are drawn from a register of applicants whose expressions of
interest have been accepted by SSABSA. Personnel on the register
are contacted annually by SSABSA to determine their availability
and to update details on their original application (if necessary).
Assessment
panels are chosen by Chief Assessors, together with the relevant
Curriculum and Assessment Officer, according to the prescribed
criteria, giving particular consideration to country membership.
Specialised roles may be asked of individuals within the panels
to reflect the assessment requirements of the curriculum statement.
The composition of assessment panels
will take into account:
- continuity of experience from year to
year;
- new members;
- representation from teachers, tertiary
members, and industry;
- representation of teachers from a
range of schools with students differing socio-economic backgrounds;
- appropriate balance of gender, educational
sectors, and location of teaching school.
This is a valuable
opportunity for professional development. The assessment panel
positions carry a small stipend, or a reimbursement to employers
when assessment panel duties occur in normal working hours.
