2024 NAPLAN Writing Marker Opportunity

All teaching staff

NAPLAN markers

The VCAA is seeking current and retired teachers with a strong literacy background to mark the NAPLAN 2024 writing test from March to April 2024.

Markers will assess a range of writing from students in grades 3 and 5 and years 7 and 9 through a secure online platform. This means markers will have the flexibility to work from home while contributing to the enhancement of literacy in Victoria.

Markers will receive two full-day training sessions paid at an hourly rate, with an additional paid training session for first-time markers. Marking will then be paid at script rate for the duration of the project.

Once markers have successfully completed the training, they will benefit from recognition for professional practice from the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT). However, teachers do not need a current VIT registration to be a NAPLAN marker.

Marking will begin in March 2024 and take just over a month. Markers will need to work six days a week during this period, including weekend work (with a break over Easter). Markers will have the choice between either day or evening marking sessions, based on preferences.

For more information, refer to NAPLAN 'Writing Marker' information. To apply, refer to Sessional Staff Management System.
