Getting to Achieved, Merit, and Excellence
Getting to Achieved, Merit, and Excellence
NCEA's Achieved, Merit, and Excellence levels are based on a rubric called 'Solo Taxonomy.' For you to achieve, it's important to keep reflecting on where you are against this Solo Taxonomy.
Pre-Structural = Not Achieved
Uni Structural = Not Achieved / Developing
Multi Structural = Achieved
Relational = Merit
Extended Abstract = Excellence
