Summary of review and consultation process

 

This review was part of the planned cycle of review for achievement standards and was informed by feedback from secondary schools, advisers, moderators, and examiners.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

The changes are minor amendments to the title and/or explanatory notes that clarify the intent of the achievement standards.

·        AS90608: An explanatory note (EN) 5 has been added to reinforce the intent of the standard, and to help address student and teacher workload.  EN 6 has been added to, in order to further clarify what is required before the performance.

·        AS90609: The title has been amended to include the option of a trio performance, in addition to the previous options of solo and duo.  This change will support the collaborative dynamic that is necessary for devising, and allow the teacher to manage class groupings and dynamics more effectively.  The corresponding addition has also been made in the description and achievement criteria, and within EN 4 (bullets 1 and 3 amended).
