📊 Assessment Approach

This lesson uses a flexible two-tier assessment approach designed to accommodate diverse learning goals whilst maintaining quality standards.

Formative assessment: All participants should engage in formative assessment activities integrated throughout lessons - these include mini-tasks, knowledge checks, and practical exercises that enhance learning and provide immediate feedback. These formative assessments are designed to support learning by informing themselves and the teacher, to help guide the learning process (i.e. rather than inform certification). The aim is to create an inclusive environment where participants can engage fully regardless of their formative assessment outcomes.

Summative assessment and certification: Optional summative assessment and certification is available (see separate documentation on how this can be incorporated).

Value with or without accreditation: Learners can gain high value from the learning process, without completing formal assessment, ensuring that learning opportunities remain accessible to all participants regardless of their certification needs.

🎯 Teaching Approach

This lesson follows the ENGAGE cycle (Explore, Navigate, Generate, Apply, Guide, Evaluate) grounded in adult learning principles. Other pedagogical approaches are interleaved to form the holistic approach to learning that has formed the basis of the lesson.

Important: More detail and research supporting teaching and learning approaches is available in the Teachers Guide, and should be considered before teaching this lesson.
