Unit: Experiencing the World of Work
The resource helps learners reflect on their experiences, identify key skills gained, and understand workplace expectations. It encourages self-assessment, goal setting, and evaluation of personal performance in a professional environment.
This resource is my whole-school skills framework (P1-P7) that directly links to the Skills Development Scotland (SDS) meta-skills. It comes with all the supporting materials you’ll need, plus clear connections to the world of work to help pupils see the ‘why’ behind their learning.
We’ve implemented this across our whole school, and the feedback from staff has been amazing! It’s made a real difference to pupil engagement, how they develop essential skills, and their overall learning.
I really hope this helps your school foster those crucial meta-skills and boost curriculum coherence across your primary stages!
