How to prepare for controlled assessments
We've organised special face-to-face ‘How to set tasks and prepare for controlled assessment’ meetings to support teachers in delivering their GCSE programmes. Designed for new or experienced teachers preparing for the 2013 series, these sessions will be run  by a practising teacher and experienced trainer. They include opportunities to develop practical classroom strategies for controlled assessments, discuss how best to conduct the oral assessments and share good practice.

These meetings complement  language-specific ‘How to mark’, ‘How tasks are marked’ and other feedback-type events across all languages with controlled assessments.

You can find documents relating to controlled assessment below, including: Forms You'll find the controlled assessment forms you need here.  Guidance  We've updated the controlled assessment Teacher Support Book with answers to FAQs from you.

All these documents can also be found on the main GCSE Italian page, alongside other key documents including: 

• The Administrative Support Guide (ICE)
• Principal Moderator and examiner reports
• Sample assessment materials.
