the final assessment decision.

Assessment of a classroom teacher’s (Graduate) performance against the applicable standards is within the overall

2004 are met.

The principal will consider the ‘statement of achievement’ and other relevant information in relation to each
professional standard and make a decision, based on the balance of evidence, about whether the classroom teacher
(Graduate) has satisfied all the standards.

2. Maintain PD record and appropriate portfolio of evidence
