Assessment strategies need to be valid and tie back closely to the outcomes identified as key learning for the students. They can be used as formative and/or summative assessment.
The processes that student participate in during the inquiry can also be assessed. The students reflect on how well the team carried out the inquiry process, and where they might change or improve things next time they do an inquiry. This will help students to see what their next learning steps might be, so like Sir Edmund Hillary they too are striving to achieve the best they can, responding to the challenges in their learning by looking back and looking forward as they progress.
Consider making a personal connection between the students' learning and the implications for self by giving opportunities to reflect on how Sir Edmund Hillary's skills, qualities and values can relate to their learning, and their own lives, now and in the future, by completing a Self Reflection activity.
