Assessment

At Stage 1 assessment is school-based. During a teaching and learning program the teacher makes decisions about the quality of evidence of student learning against the performance standards. At the end of the program the teacher uses the performance standards to make an on-balance decision about the quality and standard of a student’s set of evidence of learning. Students have the opportunity to demonstrate evidence of their learning in Stage 1 Fashion Design through the following assessment types:

  • Assessment Type 1: Product
  • Assessment Type 2: Folio (Inquiry and Skills)

In each 10-credit subject students provide evidence of their learning through three assessments, with at least one assessment from each assessment type.
