Personal Development Awards aim to help learners become more independent and to develop their potential as contributing members of their societies.<\/p>\n
Pupils will develop self-reliance, self-esteem, confidence, resilience and responsibility as well as the opportunity to continue to acquire and develop skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work.<\/p>\n
Personal Development Awards are offered by the SfL department at SCQF levels 3 to 5.<\/p>\n
There are no prerequisites for entry to the Personal Development courses.<\/p>\n
A key feature is the opportunity for the Award to be tailored according to pupils’ needs and for them to be supported in setting their own targets and identifying appropriate tasks.<\/p>\n
Units are selected from the following three themes for SCQF level 3:
\n\u2666 Self in Community
\n\u2666 Self and Work
\n\u2666 Practical Abilities<\/p>\n
For SCQF levels 4 and 5, units are selected from the following four themes:
\n\u2666 Self in Community
\n\u2666 Self and Work
\n\u2666 Practical Abilities
\n\u2666 Self Awareness<\/p>\n
Teaching methods will include discussion, role play, written questions, group work, presentations, and independent study and research. Classwork is accessed via MS Teams and OneNote.<\/p>\n
There is no formal examination for this course. Assessment for the Award will consist of gathering evidence to show that the pupil is
\nable to successfully complete all the Outcomes in the Units.
\nAssessment evidence can be presented in any form appropriate to a pupil and the activity undertaken. Pupils may also provide evidence through audio recordings, video diaries, blogs or other electronic means.<\/p>\n
This Award or its components may provide progression to the Personal Development Award at a higher level, or other Awards such as Steps to Work Award (SCQF levels 3 and 4), Employability Award (SCQF levels 3 and 4), Wellbeing Award (SCQF
\nlevels 3\u20135), Leadership Award (SCQF levels 5 and 6) and other relevant qualifications.<\/p>\n
