What you get
Everything that comes with the Life, Community and Work course.
A portfolio that builds itself as you teach.
Portfolio in Action is 60% of the grade, and the risk with any portfolio subject is arriving at sixth year with an empty folder. Here the portfolio is opened in the first lesson and added to throughout, with the four Applied Learning Tasks landing across the closing lessons of each strand. You lead from the interactive whiteboard while the same lesson is open on each student's own device, which is also where their portfolio work happens, so they can keep building it between classes.
True digital learning
- All four strands, 30 lessons each, across fifth and sixth year
- The same lesson on the board and on every student's own device
- Students can add to their portfolio on their own, between classes
- The four Applied Learning Tasks scaffolded and landed in sequence
- Preparation and follow-up for the minimum three-day work placement
Built to the NCCA Curriculum Specification for Leaving Certificate Life, Community and Work
The full two-year course, all four strands, built from the published specification. Each strand runs to 30 lessons and lands one of the four Applied Learning Tasks, and the Digital Portfolio is set up in the first lesson and built continuously from there. Assessment is at common level: Portfolio in Action is worth 60% and the written examination 40%.
