Graded Assessment in Design and Technology: Exemplars, Contexts and Themes - Pack 1 (Key Stage 3)

This resource pack has been designed to coincide with the Graded Assessment in Design and Technology (GADT) scheme.

The pack provides practical support for design and technology in the National Curriculum, whether or not the GADT scheme is being used. The pack contains examples of students' work as exemplars for assessment.

The work is gathered from schools involved in GADT. Each exemplar is referenced by the relevant GADT criteria and can be related directly to the National Curriculum.

The associated notes demonstrate which features of a given piece of work are significant in defining levels at which the student is working.

The exemplars can be used to support the moderation and assessment of D & T within the National Curriculum, and it is intended that the material should form the basis for a specific departmental bank of students' work, to be used to monitor and moderate internal assessment.
