Assessment

Go to a Discussion Forum
Assessment should be structured so that students can demonstrate a range of outcomes through a variety of assessment tools and measurement techniques during the course time. The selected method of gathering and measuring this information is the responsibility of schools and teachers. Teachers should endeavour to select instruments based on the principles of effective assessment and the purpose for which the gathered information will be used.

The following sections of the NSW Stages 4-5 Geography and History syllabuses give helpful guidelines:
