Assessable elements and descriptors of quality for AE

Assessable elements and descriptors support teacher judgments about the standard a student has achieved. Assessable elements: identify the valued features of the key learning area to be assessed draw from the two dimensions of the Essential Learnings: Ways of working and Knowledge and understanding can be used together or independently when designing assessment. Descriptors: indicate the qualities evident in student work use an AE scale.
