All My Own Work

Schools may use a variety of different delivery methods such as:

• contexts (eg specific concentrated learning and/or embedded within broader teaching and learning contexts)
• media (eg online, pen and paper)
• modes (eg individual self-paced study, whole class group)
• groups of students and blocks of time.

Several different implementation strategies can also be used. These include:

• an intensive one-day workshop/forum for students. This may be consolidated by revisiting AMOW outcomes and content throughout coursework in Year 11
• teacher-librarians supervising AMOW completion for students either in small groups or individually
• individual topics being integrated into existing Study Skills/information literacy programs
• teachers making content adjustments for students with disability. Students with disability may require adjustments and support to engage with and respond to AMOW topics. EAL/D students may require strategies to support them to engage with and respond to AMOW topics. Schools continue to have the flexibility to deliver AMOW in a manner that is appropriate for them.

The criteria for satisfactory completion of AMOW is similar to the criteria for satisfactory completion of a Preliminary or HSC course.

A student is considered to have satisfactorily completed AMOW if, in the principal's view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has:

• systematically addressed the content covered by AMOW
• applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in AMOW by the school
• achieved some or all of the expected outcomes of AMOW.

As with decisions about satisfactory completion of a course, the professional judgement of principals and teachers is a key element in decisions about a student's satisfactory completion of AMOW.

Principals are also able to deem that satisfactory completion has been demonstrated through equivalent programs.

Upon completion of each quiz, students will receive an online completion certificate which can be downloaded, printed or screenshot and provided to the relevant supervising school staff. The certificate will identify which topic was completed, the student’s quiz result and their name. Supervising school staff will then be able to identify if the student can progress to the next topic.

Principals will certify a student’s completion of AMOW in Schools Online when confirming Preliminary and HSC entries for their school.

At the end of each topic, there is a short quiz to help students confirm and validate their understanding of the content.

Students will be asked to enter their name – this is important as it supports students indicating their completion of the quiz.

After selecting their answer for each question, students will be informed if they were correct or incorrect, and why.

Students cannot exit the quiz once it has begun. If the quiz is exited before all questions are answered, their progress will not be saved, and students will need to restart the quiz.

Upon completion of the quiz, students will receive a completion certificate that will identify their name and result.

Students should ask their classroom supervisor how they would like to see completion certificates. Options may include screenshots, printing, downloading or viewing the certificate on a student’s screen.

The classroom supervisor will identify if students can progress to the next topic. Their decision may depend on time, satisfactory completion of the topic and quiz, or how they choose to facilitate All My Own Work.
