Join the marking team for NAPLAN 2025 writing

Principals/Directors and teachers

The VCAA is seeking current and retired teachers with a strong literacy background to mark the NAPLAN 2025 writing test, from March to April 2025.

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

You will receive 2 full-day training sessions paid at an hourly rate, with an additional paid training session for first-time markers. Marking will also be paid at an hourly rate for the duration of the project.

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

Marking will take just over a month, beginning 16 March 2025. You will need to be available to mark from the start of the marking operation, and mark continuously for a minimum of 3-4 hours on at least 6 days each week until the last day of marking.

Apply to be a NAPLAN writing marker through the Sessional Staff Management System (SMSS)
