Assessment HIGH DISTINCTION CREDIT PASS FAIL Criteria DISTINCTION Brenton, Part (a) Mind map: Your integrated unit of learning provides the fertile ground for high quality student learning, that is inclusive and accepting of diversity. The use of local community resources was excellent as was the timeline activity (a subtle way to address 60,000 years!) Part (b) Rationale: Your discussion of racism was comprehensive (given the word limit) and the use of a variety of differentiation strategies was well argued. Part (c) Reflections: You related your personal experiences (albeit rather disconcerting; your experience in high school will obviously influence the way you teach!), you expressed your Comments: opinions clearly and articulately, making the connection between theory and practice. You have learnt about yourself as a teacher – a critical component in teaching. I hope you continue to learn! Your work is of a standard of which you should be most proud. You have covered all the areas listed in the rubric/matrix exceptionally well; your writing is planned, smooth, direct and uncluttered. The referencing is to an appropriate standard. Well done Brenton! Janine
