Skills for Work: Sustainable Economic Development
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Sustainable Economic Development is a 20 hour Skills for Work unit, from Entry 1 to Level 2, in which learners find out what makes a workplace sustainable, how everyday and workplace actions affect the environment and community, then plan a sustainability strategy for their own setting, carry out activities and review their impact. It is one unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Literacy sits in describing and explaining sustainability, writing the plan or strategy, discussing ideas and evaluating actions. Numeracy is light: setting timescales is required, while measuring energy, water or waste is suggested.

Explaining what sustainability means and why it matters

Da gwybod
- Unit codes run from Entry 1 to Level 2: "S664E1", "S664E2", "S664E3", "S664L1" and "S664L2", with 20 GLH (unit overview, page 3).
- Assessment is not a writing test: "extended written work is not required unless appropriate", and judgements should not focus on "spelling or presentation unless specifically assessed" (sources of evidence, page 15).
- Spoken and practical evidence counts. The sources of evidence include "audio/video recordings of learners presenting sustainability projects" and teacher observation sheets (page 15).
- No special equipment is needed for assessment: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources" (page 17).
- AI misuse is malpractice. Examples include "Copying or paraphrasing whole responses of AI-generated content." and "Using AI to complete parts of the assessment so that the work does not reflect the learner's own work, analysis, evaluation or calculations." (specification section 4.6, page 21).
- Suggested assessment tasks are optional: "These tasks are not mandatory." Teachers may use, adapt or replace them (specification section 4.1, page 18).
- Where a criterion uses a plural without a number, "a plural reference within assessment criterion refers to a minimum of two" (pages 6 and 8).
