Which cap fits: Understand yourself

“Which cap fits?” is a self-contained classroom topic that explores four personal values – being liked, admired, respected and trusted. Students will consider what these values mean to them and which they would like to inspire in others. They will also reflect on whether there could be any negative aspects to these values, for example does respect always mean you are liked? This topic will encourage reflection about how values can affect our behaviour and choices.
This topic supports the learning outcomes in the Association for Careers Education and Guidance (ACEG) framework for career and work-related learning at Key Stage 4 but can be used with a range of groups depending on their needs and abilities, and provides good evidence of lesson planning. Two files are included with this topic. The first file is a lesson plan, worksheets and suggested running order for the activities. The lesson plan also includes differentiated learning goals, reflective questions and a “before and after” review of learning relating to this topic. The second file is a slide show presentation which can be used with a whiteboard or pc/laptop and projector, to add structure to the lesson for students. The slideshow has the same running order as the lesson plan, and includes modern and striking imagery to appeal to young adult learners.
