Assessment evidence guide
The assessment guide contains sample indicators that help teachers place students at a standard. They are
examples of student achievement and an on-balance judgement must be made about whether a student’s
performance is of similar difficulty to the indicators provided. In an on-balance judgement a student is
assessed over time and from a range of evidence.
When assessing a student:
1. Teachers use the indicators to place student performance at standard level.
2. Teachers then consider the following criteria to refine the judgement to stage level:
• independence – level of support
• accuracy of pronunciation, intonation, fluency, spelling and grammar
• sophistication of language, including the level of detail, use of prior knowledge, breadth of
structures, complexity and creativity.
Teacher judgement will be supported by moderation and support materials including tasks and annotated
work samples.
