Leftwaffe wrote: » The majority of teachers where I am are taking it that they won’t be in for the last week. The accredited grades process really shouldn’t take that long for teachers and the Subject alignment meeting could be held outside tuition time. They hardly expect people to come the first week of June?

We cant find a registered Hungarian teacher to sit on the panel and verify the grades given by the students unregistered tutor. The SEC are telling me they must be registered.
rainbowtrout wrote: » Ah here. Given that Hungarian is a non curricular language, how likely is it that there are any Hungarian teachers registered with the teaching council. I’d suggest ringing the Hungarian embassy in Dublin (assuming there is one) and seeing if they can put you in touch with someone

My friend knows the person who’s marking the Hungarian though (as they know several of the people involved). There was only one of the non-curricular languages that had no applicants, apparently, and it wasn’t Hungarian. Why those Hungarian students didn’t do that assessment, I don’t know, but it sounds like they should have.

8.2 How is the school alignment process organised? Prior to the alignment process, each subject teacher of a Leaving Certificate class group drafts the initial estimated percentage marks for each of her/his students and class groups. Teachers will need to demonstrate that no two students are placed on the same estimated percentage mark. Where there is more than one examination component in the subject, teachers will have regard to the written element and the additional assessment component(s). Percentage marks may include up to two decimal places, i.e. 83.22%, 83.33%, etc. Teachers will demonstrate that no two students, at each level (Higher, Ordinary and Foundation) are placed on the same estimated percentage mark.

If so, is it possible to put a student in Class A at 95% and a student in Class B at 95%? (I know it's not possible to do it if they're in the same class.) Or do we just hand in a single list for all our students in the year this time? Grma.
