=The Learning Bank (Sept 07)= //'None of us are as smart as all of us.'//

include page="HTML_blockquote_open"//I think that the BTEC National Certificate in Sport developed my writing skills and taught me to proof read my work. But it is the people that ran the course that have changed my attitude the most, my attitude from the first year compare my second year as seen a significaint change this is mainly because of Alan Kirkup and Kristain Still and the talk that we had at the end of my First year. I have push myself from being predicted a PP to getting a MM profile which at times was hard but I'm proud of myself that i didnt give up. The way the course is run gave me the chance to meet some really good friends. I now go on to Bath University which was never an option when I started college and looking to the summer when I go out to America to coach.// user:LukeYeates include page="HTML_blockquote_close"

To PASS the unit, learners must //'demonstrate that they can meet __all of the learning outcomes__ for the unit.'// These **learning outcomes** are then transferred to a grading grid**,** each grading grid contains statements used to //'determine the evidence that each learner must produce in order to receive a pass, merit or distinction grade.'// The Learning Bank is also structured using this format. Many of the units have already been started but please contribute your learning or teaching experiences. The Learning Bank is designed specifically to support and engage students to successfully the PASS unit and provide the strong foundation from which to address the MERIT and DISTINCTION criteria.
