**Themed Units may be accompanied by Criteria Sheets **__[|What Is A Criteria Sheet?] __ The most important aspect of assessment for Art Students and their teachers is to keep it simple. This will ensure ease of communication. Don't allow the tasks to become burdensome – rather – they should ease stress and make learning fun!
 * These help the student to understand what the teacher is expecting from them
 * Helps the teacher record whether the students has met the expected criteria
 * Ensures parent and relevant others know what was happening during the unit and they can see where the student is heading for purposes of support and planning future directions
