[Year 12 IT Apps] Students meeting outcomes

[Andrew Shortell]

After teaching a lot of VETiS (vet in schools) I see the S as something that can be demonstrate in a number of ways including verbally written etc. the issue really is whether you feel
 Satisfied With saying that they have met the outcomes.
The VCE has a number of measures of key knowledge and skills. Does the student show understanding at a point of these.......?

This is never easy with students who are not interested.
The less able ones often work harder and thus do pass.
"Hard work will always beat talent that does not work"

Dangle the carrot of "you just need to do more work and I will pass you..."

Good luck and be of good conscience. It is you who has to look in the mirror and be happy with your decision

For the most part, a student demonstrates their 'S' in the SACs, but if your school is anything like mine, a kid who 'fails' a SAC still needs to get an S...for your own peace of mind you may need to help that kid learn what they need to to get an S legitimately in your eyes.
