As a rule, I don't send SAC's out to mailling lists. They are not
secure and once released into the wild, you have no control over
what happens to them. I remember a few years back a SAC that I had
written from scratch appeared on a mailing list under another
teachers name (grrr), with no acknowledgment of the hours I had
spent constructing it.<br>
<br>
I think as a professional exercise we should <b>all try to write at
least one SAC from scratch</b> and then perhaps ask for people
willing to proof read it via the lists. The actual process of going
through and making sure that you have all knowledge and skills
covered is important as a Year 12 teacher. Yes it takes time, but it
is what is required if you are a Year 12 teacher. I usually use a
SAC from the previous year as a Practice SAC for my kids. Now this
year it won't work as well, but I might re-write it to include the
new knowledge and skill areas.<br>
<br>
When writing SAC's I tend not to give students open ended tasks. Be
specific, it is easier to mark and justify awards of grades. So for
example, "identify three input and output requirements". Students
then have to identify the three best input and output requirements
and you can award marks accordingly. <br>
<br>
If you want to source SACs for classes, buy them. That way you have
some assurance of quality if you are ever audited and you also know
that these SAC's are not out in the wild where the students can get
a hold of them. Remember you have to authenticate students work as
part of the SAC process. SAC's grabbed off the internet could
compromise your authentication process.<br>

<pre wrap="">I also concur that we should not send SAC's to members of this list who do not IDENTIFY themselves with name and valid email addresses, and perhaps also, their job title at the school. There are clearly valid reasons for these checks and balances..so, I for one wont be supplying any samples to non-identified listers. How would I know who they are????
We are all professionals on this list, lets treat each other as such with the respect we deserve.

Hi Tong,
We have recently had a discussion on this on the mailing list. We all
suggest purchasing either the QATs and the VITTA practice SAC's.
On a different note, this may sound rude, but personally I would not
send you any SAC's on here as you have not identified what school you
are teaching at or using an email address. The presumption may be that
you are a student trying to get a hold of some SAC's.
Cheers
