The annotated work samples in Judging Standards support teachers when reporting
against the achievement standards, when giving assessment feedback and when
explaining the differences between one student’s achievement and another’s.
Reporting against the Achievement Standard
Grey highlighting identifies those aspects of the achievement standard addressed in
the work sample. Annotations in black text refer to the assessment pointers, while
those in coloured text highlight additional, specific qualities evident in the work.
The sequence of time
Incorporating the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures cross-curriculum priority, children discussed
the sequence of time and that Aboriginal people lived in Australia a long time ago. They talked about how stories can be
told and shared, by reading a book about the Dreamtime, How the Birds got their Colours. The children were asked to
draw a line with an arrow and draw pictures to show how, over time, the birds got their colours (as told in the story).
They described how the birds got their colours, while the teacher scribed.
By the end of the Pre-primary year, students identify similarities and differences between families. They recognise how
important family events are commemorated. Students sequence familiar events in order. They pose questions about
their past. Students relate a story about their past using a range of texts.
Aboriginal literature
Student achievement is reported at the end of the semester or year using achievement
descriptors. Achievement descriptors should not be used to assess individual pieces of work.
