How?
Looking at how young people have done something
not just what they did By tasks, questioning,
reviewing, assessment, links between subjects and
between subjects and the ultra curriculum By
using a common vocabulary By matching previous /
other skills sets with the Future Skills By
recognising that everyone is a unique combination
of skills BUT that many people have not had
opportunities to discover or use the skills they
have.
