Hi Alexbia
It is still a work in progress. Still more writing than we would like, but small steps. The new curriculum will affect further ‘modification’. Happy to share as soon as I work out how to do it!
We used the rubric for writing ‘My Weekend’, but had our students write about their holidays, using this as a progressive assessment.
We use a different colour highlighter to add to the rubric each time the assessment task is completed. This piece is moderated – Term 1 (starting point for the year), Term 2 (semester 1 reports) and Term 4 (semester 2 reports). We decided to leave Term 3 as an optional activity. Kids get too much testing these days.
It’s a great way to see individual students are progressing. The rubrics are online and accessible to all classroom teachers at the school.

Hi Jill
We agree. I and my team have looked through the oral language assessment rubric and find it very complex for an assessment that requires easier navigation.
We have in fact used the rubric for assessing writing and found the same problem. We simplified the rubric’s contents and continue to modify it as we go.
I think we will be doing the same thing with the oral language one.
Please note, we are not changing things, just expressing them differently.
