Hahaha gold
Why did my heart sink when I first read this?
I suppose that the renewal groups for maths could argue for the removal of folio tasks that can easily be a source of unevenness between schools as no one can tell how much support a class received in creating their folio, but given that there is to be an emphasis on “a broader range of evidence of learning” this is highly unlikely.
What is in there to not make the heart sink?
I’ve heard a bit about SA’s folio scamming but I don’t really know about it. If you give me some links (in comment or email), I can take a look.
“…. including those who would not typically identify as experts ….” OK.
How many teachers will give the game away once this nonsense takes hold?
This ‘subject renewal’ is a waste of sace.
