Asdan is an exciting challenge based course that focuses on action planning, doing and reviewing.
Students need to complete a range of challenges:-
researching on the internet using the telephone,
finding the true costs of living on your own, work experience,
finding out about the environment and pollution
visiting museums, theatres, sports centres, theme parks
trying new sports; go-karting, tobogganing, horse riding…
Each of these challenges has to be planned, risk assessed, priced and paid for by the students. Once they have taken part they then review the activity and their contribution to it.
The evidence collected from each of these challenges is collected to form a portfolio.
Whilst they are having ‘fun’ and building up their evidence they will be working towards a qualification.
CoPE Level 1 is equal to 25 points or a GCSE grade E
CoPE Level 2 is equal to 46 points or a GCSE grade B
They can also gain Wider Key Skills Awards;
Improving own learning
Working with others
Problem solving
At level1 each of these wider key skills is worth 18.8points
At level 2 each is worth 34.5 points.
It is also possible for students to use work they have produced in other curriculum areas to build up their portfolio.
Level 3 CoPE is designed for Years 12 & 13 and can build them 70 UCAS points through extended pieces of work which they develop for themselves. |
