Reminder of project requirements
Assessment Framework
A key objective for the project is that partner colleges develop their capacity, not only to provide, but also assess learning for speaking and listening skills, public speaking and active citizenship. Colleges participating during 2015-16 will work with a revised assessment framework in conjunction with an active citizenship activity and project review activity.
Public Speaking Workshops
