Assessment Tasks s1

Diversity in education

Assessment tasks Diversity e-portfolio

Your assessment is a collection of tasks that will be presented throughout the unit. Each year level from pre-primary to Year Six at Jayhill Heights Primary School will be completing homework, assignments and classroom activities as they learn more about diversity. The staff has a few tasks to do too! Your assessment will encompass all of these tasks into one diversity e-portfolio. Your e-portfolio will consist of eight tasks all together. When all eight tasks have been completed you can submit your e-portfolio to your facilitator. Good luck!
