The assessment in this 3 lesson/week overview is of a high-quality standard, because not only does it address an adequate number of points/factors from the WA curriculum and syllabus, it is valid (it is directly related to the WA curriculum and levels), reliable (there is a variety of different assessments, which caters for a broad scope of learning styles), authentic (it uses the real-life context of 'The world around is' to bring validity and authenticity to the Student's experience) and fair (as there are a number of different assignments of different style and focus).
