Guidelines for marking

The following guidelines for marking show one approach to assigning a value to a student’s work. Other approaches may be used that better suit the reporting process of the school. Categories, marks, grades, visual representations or individual comments/notations may all be useful.

Range	Students in this range:
Very High 10-12 marks	describe a range of factors influencing risk behaviour and display an understanding of the relationship between them describe a range of physical, social and emotional harms and display an understanding of the relationship between them provide a clear justification of how they would act that reflects an excellent understanding of skills eg communication, problem-solving describe creative, realistic and effective strategies that could be adopted to promote the safety of self and others at the party
High 7-9 marks	describe factors influencing risk behaviour and may acknowledge the relationship between them describe some physical, social and emotional harms related to behaviours in the scenario and may acknowledge the relationship between them provide a justification of how they would act that reflects an understanding of skills, eg communication, problem-solving describe sound strategies that could be adopted to promote the safety of self and others at the party
Satisfactory 4-6 marks	identify a limited range of factors influencing risk behaviour, eg emphasis on peer influence describe the consequences of some of the risk behaviours but are limited in range, eg emphasis on the physical harms provide a brief description of how they would act in similar circumstances identify some basic strategies that could be adopted to promote safe behaviour at the party
Progressing 1-3 marks	make little or no reference to the factors which influence the behaviour of young people identify an obvious consequence of a risk behaviour in the scenario show limited capacity to justify their behaviour in similar circumstances display minimal understanding of strategies that could be adopted to promote safe behaviour at the party.

Feedback

The teacher provides written feedback that will inform students on how well they have described the factors that impact on the health behaviours of young people in the scenario and predicted the consequences of these risk behaviours. The comments will also refer to the student’s ability to identify strategies that promote safe behaviour.

Future directions

Students can explore other risk situations that may be encountered by young people. They can identify inequities that exist among young people and analyse how these may impact on risk behaviours and their health and safety.
