Summary

 

These Tikanga unit standards were revised because of Assessment Support Material development.  When these resources were being created, there was some ambiguity and inconsistencies identified in the standards.  The Whakaruruhau decided to revise the standards and amended them to ensure that they are fit for purpose; and that their outcomes are achievable, coherent, and consistent with valid assessment practices.

 

Main changes

 

·      The titles of unit standards 16041, 16044, 16160 and 27106 were changed in line with amendments made to the standards.

·      Changes to purpose statements, guidance information, outcomes, performance criteria, and range statements were made to ensure clarity for users.
