HELP: Level 3 – Event internal – A question.
I have been marking 3.3 and am struggling with part of the standard and would appreciate comment from you (if you have done this standard).
If a student explains in detail and evaluates the planning and decision making involved in the event they would get excellence for this part of the standard.
I see how they need to to indicate the effectiveness (evaluation) of the components of the planning and decision-making however, how essential is it for students to say how the organisation made the decision to do this or that e.g. via Cost Benefit analysis or whatever.
At this stage I have NOT made it essential – my question is – how important is it for Level 3 student to talk about these methods and evaluate them or could a good evaluation of the planning and decision making around say the waste management and catering for the Lantern festival be at Excellence level.
Looking forward to reading your ideas.

The Big Day Out is back on the scene…
In 2014, maybe there will be another case study for our students to use. The BDO has to apply for resource consent to hold the event at Western Springs – might be a good idea to follow the news on this for next year.
NZQA results up

NCEA External Assessment: Grade Score Marking Explained
Wondering how your students work was marked?
In 2012, external assessment for level 1 and 2 was carried out using Grade Score Marking. To coincide with the implementation of the revised achievement standards. All external revised achievement standards have been written with a single outcome to allow aggregation of assessment evidence from across an examination paper.

Could be a fun thing to use with your class – encourage that imagination.
Get them to work out with ideal location to live? Where would people go on holiday? What might the old continents be called – so much fun?
Lots could be done with this.
