Citizenship at key stage 4    (Year 10-11)

Unit 10: Rights and responsibilities in the world of work
Section 4: Reviewing progress and planning future learning

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to reflect on and summarise their achievements
  • about the roles, rights and responsibilities they will have post-16, and what learning needs and opportunities will be available to them

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Pupils select examples of their work/achievements for their portfolio. They produce objectives that relate to their future careers and/or life plans.
  • If this unit is used at the end of key stage 4, pupils could reflect on the sum of their achievements during the key stage. They could identify the knowledge, skills and understanding they have acquired to help them become active citizens. They could use the end of key stage 4 description (see the programme of study for citizenship), rewriting it in their own words and assessing whether or not they have achieved different aspects of it, whether they have exceeded it, or whether there are areas of knowledge or skills that they still need to acquire if they are to meet the objectives they have set themselves for career or life plans. As they do this, they consider the roles, rights and responsibilities they will encounter beyond the age of 16 as community members, consumers, family members, continuing learners, taxpayers, future voters and workers.
  • Pupils consider how they can put their key stage 3 and 4 learning into practice post-16, and begin to identify the kinds of opportunities there may be for continuing their learning through active citizenship.
  • contribute to a portfolio of achievement and develop objectives relating to future careers and/or life plans
  • review and critically evaluate their achievements at key stage 4
  • identify some of the roles, rights and responsibilities they will have beyond the age of 16
  • identify future learning needs and opportunities

Points to note

  • This section has potential to aid progression to post-16 citizenship opportunities.
  • It may be possible for someone who is or has been involved in one of the post-16 development projects to speak to pupils about post-16 opportunities. The Learning and Skills Development Agency can provide further information.
  • Connexions advisers may also contribute to discussion and planning.
