Skills for Life: Sustainability In Action
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Sustainability in action is a 20 hour Skills for Life unit, one of many units learners combine into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Learners explain what sustainability is and why it matters, find out how it is approached locally, in Wales and abroad, and plan and carry out sustainable actions. Literacy carries most of the unit: giving and explaining examples, reading about the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and other countries, writing an action plan and reviewing it. Numeracy is light: keeping a record of actions over time, with calculating water or energy savings only suggested.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Cynrychioli data
-
Recording sustainable actions over a period of time
At Level 1 learners carry out their plan over a period of time and maintain a record, and at Level 2 the record must be detailed. The record is required by the assessment criteria, and the amplification suggests charts as one form, so the numeracy is simple counting, dating and charting rather than calculation.

Da gwybod
- Unit codes are S625E1, S625E2, S625E3, S625L1 and S625L2, and the unit is 20 GLH in the Skills for Life suite (Unit overview, page 3).
- Spelling is not marked: "Assessor judgements should focus on meeting the standard, not" spelling or presentation (Sources of evidence, page 11), and "extended written work" is not required unless appropriate.
- Evidence can be spoken or visual: "recorded/observed discussions linked to real-life sustainability issues" are listed as evidence (Sources of evidence, page 11), and the portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" (specification section 4.1, page 18).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory"; teachers may adapt them or devise their own (specification section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools may be used only if acknowledged: learners "cannot be credited for any work they produce for assessment which is not their own" (specification section 4.6, page 21).
- Plural criteria mean at least two: "a plural reference within assessment criterion refers to a minimum of two" (page 6).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The pack names GCSE Geography as a linked WJEC qualification; explaining sustainability, reading case studies from Wales and other countries and interpreting simple records all reinforce Geography work on climate change and resources. Within the Skills Suite, the pack suggests delivering it alongside Community participation, Home management and maintenance, Practical gardening, Skills in the natural environment and Sustainable economic development, which share planning, recording and reviewing practical sustainable activities.
