As part of the Department of Education's readiness plan for the fast-approaching assessment day, schools must be prepared to implement a structured risk management plan. This memorandum provides guidelines on enhancing preparedness to mitigate potential disruptions and ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff. A key component of the preparedness initiatives is the conduct of a thorough technical run and an assessment-day simulation to identify and address possible issues before the actual assessment day.
Schools are required to conduct a technical run and assessment-day simulation starting February 24, 2025 (Monday) or at least two weeks before their scheduled testing date to identify and address potential issues. This will ensure adequate preparation and allow time to report their readiness status.
For the technical run, please refer to Annex A - Tech Run for guidelines on administering it. Schools must report their technical status-including devices, internet, and power-along with any issues through the Weekly Readiness Monitoring Form.
For the assessment-day simulation, please refer to Annex B - Simulation for the checklist to be used in conducting it. This form may be printed and used to record manually (optional). School Division Offices (SDOS) will observe and evaluate school readiness through simulated scenarios. The evaluation will focus on the response, disposition, and decision-making processes of School Heads and the school PISA Team in managing diverse situations. Following the simulations, SDOS will facilitate debriefing sessions and submit a comprehensive report using the designated Assessment-day Simulation Report Form: https://tinyurl.com/assessment-day- simulation. Schools are advised to use the Simulation checklist as guide.
