The QCAA employs and trains practising Queensland teachers (PQTs) and other eligible applicants (OEAs) (e.g. retired teachers, academics, teachers from other jurisdictions) to mark external assessment for General, General (Extension) and General (SEE) syllabuses, using an online marking platform (OLMP).
The marking period will run from late October to the end of November 2023.
There are three QCAA assessor (external assessment marking) roles:
- marker
- lead marker
- chief marker.
Benefits of being an external assessment marker
External assessment markers will:
- contribute to the success of Queensland’s new assessment system
- get practical insight into senior external assessment marking processes
- gain CPD points for QCT registration renewal
- network with like-minded professionals
- earn extra income for training and marking that occurs outside their normal school hours.
