Clarification details
Updated May 2015. This document has been updated, but there are no new moderation issues.
The purpose of clarifications
We create clarification documents to help people understand the current requirements of achievement standards. Clarifications do not introduce new criteria, change the intent of the standard, or change what we expect from assessment.
These documents unpack and explain the language and intent of the standard so people interpret and apply the standard consistently. We provide examples or guidance as illustrations only. They are not prescriptions or requirements.
For official requirements, always refer to the current version of the achievement standard as published by NZQA.
Assessment guidance
Evidence for this standard can be collected in a variety of ways and does not have to be shown solely in a written format.
A sample of the evidence that clearly matches the grade awarded is to be submitted for moderation, (this may not need to be the entire body of work submitted by the student). The submitted task must show all of the activities set, to clearly show that students were given opportunity to meet all the requirements of the standard.
Students must be given opportunity to demonstrate their understanding in their own work and the work of others, especially professional choreographers.
