Strategies to Assist Students with Special Needs to Understand Assessment Criterion
What • What is the task • One criterion at a time • Highlight key words • Discuss what the words mean • What do you think this asks • Identify and discuss what the different levels mean

Why • Why do we have criterion assessment • Identify strengths and weaknesses • With thanks to Jane Alteman (UNIS Hanoi)
Criterion Related • WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? • Consider this task…
Give this bedroom a grade out of 100 Shouldn‘t we all give it the same grade?
What are we looking for? Cleanliness It was dirty so you gave it 48/100 Tidiness Many things were out of place so 32/100 Colour Coordination The items matched well so 100 Average of these three scores gave it 60%
Does it make sense to AVERAGE these three different skills into one grade of 60%? No! Does that help the bedroom’s owner improve? No! Why not? He thinks he passed because he received more than 50% From ’60%’ the learner does not know where he went wrong or where he excelled on each separate skill. The bedroom owner needs to see his achievement on each skill separately. And he needs to see exactly what you are wanting so he can try to earn the highest level.
