Note! The IB subject specific assessment criteria are used during the MYP studies as one means of varied ways of assessment, because they give the student more detailed feedback on the learning and skills. Yet, the final assessment is based on the descriptions given in the Finnish national core curriculum.

Notes for criterion D
• Criterion D is appropriate for assessing personal and social development in sports/performance leadership and officiating.
• This criterion is not appropriate for assessing plans for learning how to demonstrate isolated skills. For example, criterion D is not used to assess a student’s plan for demonstrating an isolated skill such as tackling in rugby. However, it is appropriate to assess the effectiveness of a plan for improving defensive performance in rugby by developing a range of skills, strategies and techniques. In this situation, the student may plan to improve multiple areas such as strength, speed, cardiovascular fitness, tackling technique or formation in order to improve overall defensive performance.
