COMMENTS: (f) Target Intro 1=Next year, #N would do well to focus on 2=Next year, #N would do well to focus on 3=Moving into grade 9, #N would do well to focus on 4=Moving into grade 10, #N would do well to focus on 5=Moving into grade 11, #N would do well to focus on 6=Moving into grade 12, #N would do well to focus on COMMENTS: (g) Target 1 1=arriving to class on time and 2=take responsibility for #h actions and behaviour, changing them and 3=keeping to the deadlines set and 4=bring the correct equipment to class, including device & charger and 5=adding detail(s) to #h work and 6=having a consist approach to #h work & effort and 7=continuing with #h current approach to learning and #e will be successful in achieving high grades. COMMENTS: (h) Targets 2 1=using #h initiative to ask for help when #e does not understand the task set. 2=reflecting and modifying #h work as it progresses, using the feedback given. 3=regularly looking at the grading criteria to ensure #e is able to present a complete portfolio for each unit of work. 4=making sure #e submits work on time, and ensuring #e is able to present a complete portfolio for each unit of work to the best of #h ability. 5=improving #h attitude learning, #N should come prepared to lessons with all the relevant equipment (example - pen, pencil, device and charger) 6=improving #h outcomes by paying attention to the small details in finishing presented work. Really focusing on the extra information as directed to. 7=practicing #h basic technical skills and following examples carefully, to achieve refined outcomes. 8=making sure #e is spending enough focused time on #h development work and home-learning in general. 9=working on ideas and development work outside of the classroom to ensure better-quality final outcomes. Not just rely on class-time as all that is available. 10=continuing with #h current approach to learning and #h will be successful in achieving high grades. COMMENTS: Behaviour 1=Unfortunately #N does not always behave appropriately. #E needs to consider how this affects #h and others learning. 2=#N often disrupts the teacher and other students during class-time, #e has difficulty remaining focused. 3=When #e chooses to be #N can be well mannered, polite and courteous.
