example, I have had many worthwhile conversations with teachers this year as=
a
result of the audit process. Quite a few schools have been identified as not
providing tasks in accordance with the study design. This can range from tas=
ks
not being presented in the appropriate form, for example, giving students a
test when the task requirement is a written report through to tasks that do=
not
allow the student to demonstrate the outcome and achieve at the highest leve=

visualising thinking tools, the study design in the introductory paragraph t=

area of study 1 (page 31) states ‘Students can use any appropriate sof=

problem-solving’. Everything that falls under an area of study (introd=
