[Year 12 SofDev] Help please - School-based Assessment Audit Unit 3 - Stage 1 Notification

Tue Feb 28 11:04:56 EST 2012

Maybe you could say how the task has discriminator questions/activities
that allow superior students to demonstrate their special knowledge/skills
that the average student would not be able to achieve.

To challenge students, the task was not made so simple and basic that
students can complete it without thinking. e.g. it involves higher-level
cognitive synthesis/evaluation tasks, it presents problems in a novel
manner that takes thought to decipher. It might ask students to apply
knowledge/skills in an atypical way (e.g. instead of explaining the ethical
dilemma in a case study, they have to write an email to one of the
stakeholders to explain their options.)

Maybe...

In case you haven't seen it yet, Paula explained the new VCAA audit
procedure in a post this morning. You might want to check that out, along
the bulletin Paula points us to.

Regards
Mark
