Achievement Standards v Assessment Pointers
Assessment Pointers
Assessment Pointers are used for validating teachers’ professional judgement when reporting against a five-point scale.
The pointers are:
• examples of evidence in relation to the achievement standard;
• should be used with the annotated work samples and,
• exemplify what students may demonstrate rather than a checklist of everything they should do.
Annotated work samples
Annotated work samples are used for:
• supporting teachers when reporting against the Achievement Standard
• explaining the differences between one student’s achievement and another’s
• implementing internal moderation practices.
