On Thursday 21st May I attended a Youth Achievement Awards assessor training event. This event allowed me to take the first step in becoming an assessor for the school and the youth achievement awards. To become a fully qualified assessor I will need to attend 1 more event and externally verify award folders from all over Scotland. This will have great benefits to the S1 inspire learning program (ILP) as it allows me to have a deeper understanding of the requirements in meeting the standards for the Dynamic Youth Awards (DYA) which the S1 pupils will achieve this year through the ILP. This award requires S1 pupils to build on skills they have used across the curriculum and it links very strongly with building learning power which several members of staff are interested in taking forward in the school.
