  6. The standards are broad descriptions • focus on students using their reading, writing and mathematics for a range of curriculum-related purposes • not lists of items of knowledge and skills • multi-dimensional rather than uni-dimensional, • each standard has a number of aspects to it that need to be considered separately in order to see the whole. “If you can prioritise, focus on the really most significant (things) and measure them in a myriad of ways not just one, then you will have a winning system.” Prof W James Popham Prepared for the TAG meeting: 29 March 2012

  7. Decisions – how do teachers know whether their students are • Meeting the standard (ie at the standard) • Above the standard • Below the standard? Teachers must make an OVERALL TEACHER JUDGEMENT otj
