WRL Lesson Plans / Work-related Learning Assessment Tool / Work-related Learning Assessment Tool

Assessing students’ knowledge, skills and understanding in economic well-being is a challenge.
We have devised this assessment tool in conjunction with teachers who know how difficult assessment can be.

This assessment tool is created by the students themselves as a PowerPoint presentation. The assessment is designed to be returned to over time, so they can add evidence of their skills and understanding throughout the course of year 10 and beyond. It is also designed to be presented to people to show what they have learnt.

There are three evidence headings in this assessment. These are:

Career
Capability
Risk

Economic Understanding

These headings have been taken from the new programme of study for economic well-being at key stage 4. However, as the presentation is basically a PowerPoint presentation, you can amend or edit the headings and the associated statements to suit your requirements.

Each heading has a number of statements within it which are taken from the programme of study. One or more of these statements may apply to the student. For example, the heading “Career” includes the statements:

- I understand that everyone has a ‘career’.
- I am developing a sense of personal identity for career progression.
- I understand the qualities, attitudes and skills needed for employability.
