Assessment Compendia
The compendia on the following pages have been designed by practitioners to help you improve your skill levels.
Each compendium looks at the skills and competencies outlined in the CIEA Professional Framework, under the five headings of the Framework:
- Preparing for Assessment
- Conducting Assessment
- Feeding Back after Assessment
It also highlights the personal and interpersonal skills necessary to work effectively
- Performing Effectively
- Managing and working with others
Each compendium looks at assessment practices within a different context:
- The External Summative context
- The Internal Summative context
- The Vocational context
- The Formative context, or assessment for learning (AfL)
Each context is treated in exactly the same way, giving information about who should use that particular compendium and how to use it. Case studies are also given so that users may recognise themselves in the user guide.
This is followed by a break down of each skill area into its component parts, as outlined within the Professional Framework.
There is a section on helpful advice from the CIEA.
This is followed by useful resources that can be found on the CIEA website
These resources are finally followed by resources that can be found outside the CIEA website.

We hope that you enjoy using the resources within these compendia. If you would like to add a resource that you have found useful that relates to the area at which you are looking, please follow this link to our survey.
