It clarifies the teacher’s responsibilities, including ensuring candidates understand assessment objectives and controls, receive appropriate skill scaffolding, and are placed for the relevant competence levels in Tasks 1 and 2. The guidance outlines permissible teacher involvement, key elements of the specification (task setting, marking, internal standardisation, moderation), practical classroom management, and administrative arrangements to reduce malpractice.","GCSE  \nGCSE English Language  \nTeacher Guidance for Controlled Assessment (GEN31)  \nApril 2023  \nContents  \nIntroduction  \nThe Teacher’s Responsibility  \nThe Role of the Teacher in Unit 3  \nThe Specification  \nA Practical Guide to managing Controlled Assessment in the Classroom  \n-Preparing Candidates for Controlled Assessment  \n-Task Setting  \n-Text Selection for Task 1 and Task 2  \n-Rubric Requirements and Controls  \n-Annotation and final marks  \nCCEA Support Documents  \nAgreement Trials and Portfolio Clinics  \nInternal Standardisation  \nModeration  \nAdministrative arrangements for Submission of Controlled Assessment Preventing Malpractice  \nTeacher Guide to Controlled Assessment (GEN31)  \nIntroduction  \nThis document is intended to assist teachers in their understanding of the requirements for Unit 3 Controlled Assessment and to provide practical advice on how to manage its delivery in the classroom.  \nThe key points regarding Unit 3 Controlled Assessment can be summarised as follows:  \nUnit weighting is  \nThe Teacher’s Responsibility  \nIt is the responsibility of individual teachers to ensure that:  \n• candidates understand the Assessment Objectives, controls, Competence Level Strands, etc. so they can produce responses which will allow them to maximise their potential  \n• candidates have been equipped with the necessary skills for each task. This can be achieved by scaffolding or modelling how to approach the skills necessary for this Unit. N.B. this typeof exemplification must not make use of the task title or stimuli for the actual task  \n• candidates are given the opportunity to access the Competence Levels appropriate to their ability for Task 1 and Task 2. The task title and the stimulus material should be carefully selected and appropriate to the ability of the candidates  \n• candidates operate within the controls demanded by the specification  \n• candidates respond to the set theme  \n• candidates’ final marks accurately reflect their achievements for each of the Competence Level Strands for each of the tasks. The Competence Levels achieved by each candidate in each task may differ  \n• candidates’ work can be authenticated by the teacher  \nThe Role of the Teacher in Unit 3  \nThere are clear regulations about the level of teacher involvement that is permitted when conducting Controlled Assessment. Alerting candidates and parents/carers to these regulations is advisable. The GCSE English Language Specification, Section 6, outlines the permissible level of teacher input and should be read in conjunction with Conducting Controlled Assessments in CCEA GCSE Qualifications Instructions for subject teachers, senior leaders and Heads of Centre [https://ccea.org.uk/document/8970](https://ccea.org.uk/document/8970) (updated annually) .  \nCCEA’s Compliance Team has also produced a range of materials that may be useful in making parents/carers and candidates aware of the responsibilities of the teacher. These materials can be accessed [at](at www.ccea.org.uk/qualifications/adminhelp/compliance_and_malpractice)[ ](at www.ccea.org.uk/qualifications/adminhelp/compliance_and_malpractice)[www.ccea.org.uk/qualifications/adminhelp/compliance_and_malpractice](at www.ccea.org.uk/qualifications/adminhelp/compliance_and_malpractice)  \nThe Specification  \nThe starting point for the teaching of the Controlled Assessment Unit is rooted in the English Language specification. This document includes information relating to the skills assessed by Controlled Assessment, levels of control, task setting, task taking, task marking, internal standardisation and moderation. It is essential that teachers adhere to the requirements set out in the specification. Please access the current specification, available on the CCEA website, to ensure that you are aware of any updates.  \n A Practical Guide to managing Controlled Assessment in the Classroom  \n\n|  | Good Practice and Requirements | Situations to Avoid |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Preparing Candidates for","cbCait3pajpOxiUj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait3pajpOxiUj","pdf",587696,1,17,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## The Teacher’s Responsibility\n## The Role of the Teacher in Unit 3\n## The Specification\n## A Practical Guide to managing Controlled Assessment in the Classroom\n## Preparing Candidates for Controlled Assessment\n## Task Setting\n## Text Selection for Task 1 and Task 2\n## Rubric Requirements and Controls\n## Annotation and final marks\n## CCEA Support Documents\n## Agreement Trials and Portfolio Clinics\n## Internal Standardisation\n## Moderation\n## Administrative arrangements for Submission of Controlled Assessment\n## Preventing Malpractice","[{\"question\":\"What are a teacher’s main responsibilities for GCSE English Language Unit 3 controlled assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Teachers must ensure candidates understand the assessment objectives and controls, are equipped with the required task skills, access the appropriate competence levels, respond to the set theme, and receive final marks that accurately reflect each competence strand.
