This unit contains activities to promote participatory assessment of pupils' progress and recognition of their achievements during key stage 3. Pupils will demonstrate teamworking as well as their understanding that teams need members with a range of different skills and attributes. They will also review, evaluate and demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding of citizenship. It is helpful if they have compiled a portfolio with a record of their citizenship activities and achievements.
It is not necessary for these activities to be used all at once, nor are they the only way of assessing progress. Teachers and pupils can select particular activities from the examples given or use others they have developed. To undertake them, pupils will draw on knowledge and skills gained throughout the key stage. Pupils should be familiar with the programme of study and should have agreed criteria with teachers against which to judge their progress and achievements. The effectiveness of this unit depends on everyone involved having a clear understanding of what constitutes progression and what the agreed criteria are.
