Expert advice for maximising your marks

💡For observation evidence, ensure the session plan is detailed and clearly linked to the learner's individual needs and starting point.
💡When providing written reflective accounts, use a structured model such as Gibbs or Kolb to demonstrate deep reflection rather than mere description.
💡In your portfolio, include specific examples of how you assisted the learner in applying new skills in their practical context, such as action plans or follow-up resources.
