Start with Secure?

•We could put together a set of criteria to help develop a shared understanding of ‘secure’ at a level.

Secure is defined in terms of meeting the following criteria A= Application B= Breadth C= Challenge
A = Application pupilhas applied learning in new and unfamiliar situations.
B= Breadthpupilhas achieved a breadth of learning across almost all of the experiences and outcomes for the level.

C= Challengepupilhas responded consistently well to the level of challenge set out in these experiences and outcomes and has moved forward to more challenging learning in some aspects.
Think about a lesson and how it can be planned to include breadth, challenge and application.
