Internal assessment will be through building up a portfolio of evidence for each learner. Portfolios may include a variety of evidence to demonstrate that the learning outcomes within a unit have been achieved.
Examples of evidence that could be used to demonstrate achievement include:
Observation records
Scribing
Tape recordings
Photographs
Video
Peer witnessing / statements
Production of evidence
Due to the wide variation in the capabilities of the learners, the evidence generated to demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes is likely to be different with each learner. Particularly at the lower levels, the evidence will largely be recorded by the tutors, carers and support workers, whilst at the higher levels, the learners may begin to create their own evidence.
