18 Unit 4 Outcome 2 - SAC

19 Assessing SACs q There will be Advice for Teachers q Rubrics have been written by the VCAA q Teacher still has control of SACs q Similar to Performance Descriptors in current Assessment Handbook, but as a rubric q Descriptors will be read from left to right against the Outcome statement (similar to the SAT) q More on the next slide

in current Assessment Handbook, but as a rubric q Descriptors will be read from

20 Assessing SACs q Just to give you some idea of the descriptors: They will be a five point system from: Very Low, Low, Medium, High, Very High Include: Software designs Appropriately selected data types and data structures Use of appropriate processing features Appropriate range of test data Tests successfully applied Complete internal documentation Modules that meet requirements of designs

data types and data structures Use of appropriate processing features Appropriate range of test
