Instructions to Teachers/Tutors
The set task will be released in January before learner outcomes need to be submitted. It expected that learners will spend up to 10 hours on planning and interpretation of the stimulus and up to 30 hours on the development of creative ideas.
For the 40 hours the majority of work must be taken under informal supervision:
During this period:
work and resources can be brought in and out of the informally supervised environment, but these must be monitored so the learner’s final work can be authenticated.
Centres must issue this booklet at the appropriate time and advise learners of the timetabled sessions during which they can prepare. It is expected that scheduled lessons or other timetable slots will be used for some or all of the preparation.
There are two activities for the set task and two outcomes for submission.Completion of the digital process log must be under supervised conditions.
The digital log must be completed on a computer using the template provided by Pearson.
Digital Process Log
Inputting of responses on the digital process log will take place at four milestones under supervised conditions:
Milestone 1: Interpretation and planning
Milestone 2: Development of creative ideas: early stage review
Milestone 3: Development of creative ideas: mid-stage review
Milestone 4: Review and reflection.
Learners will use the template provided for their digital log.
At each completed milestone stage, learners must date their entry.
Each milestone entry must be signed, dated and saved as a PDF at the end of each supervised session.

The recording must not be edited, amended or manipulated.
Learners may not be assisted during the recording.
All learner work must be authenticated before being submitted to Pearson by the teacher/tutor.
The supervised assessment will take place in a period specified by Pearson.
Teachers/tutors should note that:Learners should not be given any direct guidance or prepared materialsAll work must be completed independently by the learner.
Learners must not bring anything into the supervised environment or take anything out without your knowledge and approval.
Centres are responsible for putting in place appropriate checks to ensure that only permitted material is introduced into the supervised environment.
Maintaining security:
During supervised assessment sessions, the assessment areas must only be accessible to the individual learner and to named members of staff.
Learners can only access their work under supervision.
Any work learners produce under supervision must be kept secure.
Only permitted materials for the set task can be brought into the supervised environment
During any permitted break and at the end of the session materials must be kept securely and no items removed from the supervised environment
After the session the teacher/tutor will confirm that all learner work had been completed independently as part of the authentication submitted to Pearson.
The set task is a formal assessment and must be conducted with reference to the instructions in this task booklet and the Instructions for Conducting External Assessments (ICEA) document to ensure that the preparatory period and supervised assessment are conducted correctly so that learners have completed their preparation validly and independently and submitted evidence that is their own work.

Unit 3: Group Performance Workshop – sample marking grid
General marking guidance All learners must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first learner
in exactly the same way as they mark the last. Marking grids should be applied positively. Learners must be rewarded for what they
have shown they can do, rather than be penalised for omissions. Examiners should mark according to the marking grid, not according to
their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie. All marks on the marking grid should be used appropriately. All the marks on the marking grid are designed to be awarded. Examiners should
always award full marks if deserved. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the learner’s response is not rewardable according to the marking grid.
Where judgement is required, the marking grid will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded.
When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the marking grid to a learner’s response, a senior examiner should be consulted.
Specific marking guidance The marking grids have been designed to assess learner work holistically. Rows in the grids identify the assessment focus/outcome being targeted. When using a levels-based marking grid, the ‘best fit’ approach should be used.
● Examiners should first make a holistic judgement on which band most closely matches the learner’s response and place it within that band. Learners will be placed in the band that best describes their answer.
● The mark awarded within the band will be decided based on the quality of the answer in response to the assessment focus/outcome and will be modified according to how securely all bullet points are displayed at that band.
● Marks will be awarded towards the top or bottom of that band depending on how they have evidenced each of the descriptor bullet points.
