•Ss are becoming more aware of how to approach high school assessment tasks and through the use of self and peer assessment are achieving greater success at meeting task criteria.
•Ss are now taking more ownership of their learning –referring to the marking criteria and handing in assessments early for teacher feedback thus showing more interest in producing a higher level of work.
