| SACE Board policy
allows eligible students to demonstrate their
knowledge and capability in different ways. This Special Provisions Policy covers students who,
for example, are disadvantaged by some form of
disability which makes the required assessment
difficult.
The policy
does not provide additional marks or points to
students, but offers alternative strategies assisting
students to demonstrate what they have learnt.
The same academic
and skill requirements and standards apply to
all students whether or not they have a disability.
The objective of assessment support is to accommodate
the student's functional differences caused by
the disability.
The thrust
of the policy is an understanding that the SACE Board
assesses performance against the stated learning
outcomes of each Curriculum Statement.
The SACE Board's approach
is to view each student's situation as unique,
and acknowledge that special arrangements suitable
for one person may not necessarily apply to another. |
