2021-2022 Teaching, learning and assessment support
This is a reminder on the mitigations that applies to assessment in the 2021-2022 academic year.
Streamlined Assessment Adaptations
For BTEC Firsts and Nationals, internally assessed units, the streamlined assessment adaptations apply in 2021-2022. With streamlined assessment, all content must be thought and only 1 learning aim assessed from the unit/s selected. Depending on the qualification size, streamlining would apply to 1 or 2 units. The guidance document below will show how many units can be streamlined for each qualification.
Please note that streamlined assessment adaptations can apply to mandatory internal units as a last resort, but cannot apply to synoptic units. Please read through the guidance document below. In this document, you will find information on what streamlined assessment is, the principles (page 8), information on how many units can be streamlined and guidance on how to submit streamlined units on edexcel online.
Further guidance on external assessments, managing absence, sector guides and more can be accessed from the teaching, learning and assessment in 2021-2022 page below.
The final specification, sample assessment materials and sample PSAs are available on our website. See link below:
