Assessment
Tasks

Assessment strategy is to provide frequent and ongoing assessment. The assessments are varied and play to different learning
strengths in order for students to get a rounded learning experience whilst the teacher learns about how students learn. The tasks
vary in complexity, and the initial tasks provide scaffolding for more complex assessment as the unit progresses. Some of the
diagnostic assessments could also be categorised as formative, however if the student is performing the type of task for the first time
with this teacher then they have been classified as diagnostic.
