Skills for Work: Building a Growth Mindset
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Building a growth mindset covers overcoming setbacks and building resilience, managing stress in the moment, the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset, and building helpful long term habits. It is one 20 hour Skills for Work unit that learners combine with other units into a Skills for Work, or Skills for Life and Work, Award, Certificate or Diploma. No assessment criterion needs digital tools, and the specification maps no Digital Competence to it. Digital work is optional: a habit tracker that can be paper or digital, reflecting on phone habits, and using trusted mental health websites such as NHS Every Mind Matters.

Keeping a simple habit tracker
A suggested Entry Level activity is to create a simple tracker, on paper or digitally, for one habit such as revising for ten minutes a day and use it for a week, and Level 1 and Level 2 learners can track a habit and reflect on progress. The criteria themselves only ask learners to give, demonstrate and reflect on a helpful habit, so a digital tracker is taught, not assessed.

Da gwybod
- Unit codes are S652E1, S652E2, S652E3, S652L1 and S652L2, and the unit is "GLH 20" in the Skills for Work suite (Unit overview, page 3).
- No special equipment is needed: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources." (Resources required for assessment, page 18).
- Appendix A of the specification ticks only Literacy among the cross-curricular and integral skills for this unit (page 29), so there is no Digital Competence mapping.
- Evidence can be recorded: possible evidence includes "recording of practical demonstrations of evidence, such as role plays or discussions" and "annotated photographic evidence of matching or sorting activity" (Sources of evidence, page 14).
- The portfolio need not be paper: the term portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- Suggested assessment tasks are optional: "These tasks are not mandatory." Teachers may adapt them or write their own (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools must be acknowledged. Misuse includes "Failing to acknowledge use of AI tools when they have been used as a source of information" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.6, page 21). Most criteria ask learners to describe or reflect on their own experience, which AI cannot do for them.
- The topic is personal. The pack asks learners to describe their own setbacks and stress, so centres may want to let learners use someone they know or a case study, which several Level 2 criteria allow, for example "a time when you or someone you know faced a setback" (page 7).

The pack names Fairness and inclusion in the workplace, Wellbeing and work, Personal development planning, Interview and confidence techniques and Overcoming barriers as Skills Suite units to deliver alongside it, and the Skills for Life unit Mental health and wellbeing covers stress and coping in more depth. The work on stress, wellbeing and healthy habits links with the Health and well-being Area of Learning and Experience and so with GCSE Physical Education and Health. There is little digital overlap with other qualifications on this page, because the unit has no required digital work.
