Each should provide opportunity for students to master the components which will allow them to demonstrate achievement of the outcome to be measured at the completion of that sequence. The parameters for each task are defined generally. Sample tasks are also described. Tasks are used to measure demonstration of outcomes, not the individual components which make up an outcome. Although during the course students must be given the opportunity to demonstrate achievement of all components, each Task may address only some of the components which contribute to an outcome.
Students have at least two opportunities through the CATs to address each outcome.
How to measure students achievement of subject outcomes and calculate a final grade Teachers will use Performance Criteria to measure the level of performance a student demonstrates for each outcome. A cumulative record is kept using the student's individual Record of Performance. At the completion of the subject the rating and grading procedures will assist you to determine the final rating for each outcome and the overall grade. Planning for the subject in your school is flexible, governed only by your subject's syllabus outline and Common Assessment Framework. The two primary documents you will need for this process are the Syllabus Statement and Common Assessment Tasks Booklet.
