Performance Standards
Student work is assessed using performance standards. These standards are provided in each subject outline and describe the quality of student learning required to achieve each grade (A to E for Stage 1 and A+ to E− for Stage 2).
Teachers refer to the performance standards to:
- show each student what they need to do to be successful in their learning
- design assessment tasks that help students to demonstrate their learning at the highest possible level of achievement
- make decisions about the quality of learning.
- Students can also refer to the performance standards to:
- show their learning in ways that are most appropriate to them
- monitor their progress
- understand what is expected at the end of a learning program.
The performance standard for SACE subjects can be located at the back of each subject outline.
