6. Be kind and fair to yourself!
Assessment in CSPE
All schools and teachers have their own way of assessing!
You should be able to assess yourself too and this is a guide for you.
SELF-ASSESSMENT
Exceptional: Work of a very high standard. Not necessarily perfect. Genuine effort has been made.
Above expectations: Work of very good quality. Some aspect of the work needs attention but on the whole it is of a high standard.
In line with expectations: A good piece of work with a good understanding of the task. Well presented. No major errors.
Yet to meet expectations: Work that falls short of the basic level expected. The task has not been grasped clearly. Major mistakes. Limited or no effort.
Adapted from NCCA, 2017
Be kind and fair to yourself! 6
