Discussion question · 10 marks
Select a challenging student sample from your current teaching load that falls into a borderline grade category. Analyze the portfolio by mapping specific spreads or pages to the four CAIE Assessment Objectives. Based on your analysis, explain how you would curate this evidence to present a clearer narrative of the student's process development. How would you justify your final mark to an external moderator, and what specific, actionable feedback would you provide to the student to move them into the next tier?
