[Design and Technology] EXAM REVISION

Tue Oct 14 07:15:09 EST 2014

Dear Robin,

Thank you for your clarification. It is a difficult time for all teachers
and students, especially when the current study design exam resources are
still relatively new and a new SAT marking system has been added to the
mix. It could have been more helpful if VCAA had included samples of strong
design responses in the 2013 Assessment Report also.

My apologies if it seemed that I was pitching textiles against wood. Not my
intention. We have an unusual situation requiring such a diverse range of
expertise from educators and I respect all equally. Like many teachers,
reliable clarification is what we are after to maximise all of our students
opportunities to gain their best results, especially given the significance
that their exam results have. If we all have the same information, VCE PD&T
is fairer.

My thanks again.

Regards,

*Lisa Walsh*
