The assessment tasks outlined in this publication were developed as a result of regular trialling in primary schools. The following teachers from Benalla West Primary were involved in trialling tasks on a weekly basis over several terms of the 1998 school year:

Trish Costello, Judy Jacka, Marian Jarman.

These teachers' ongoing assistance in developing the tasks is greatly appreciated. Thanks are also extended to the administration of Benalla West Primary for their cooperation.
