SKILL RAG

I can work out the steps or different actions needed to reach a goal

or to complete a task e.g. If I want to have the money to buy a

new skateboard, I can think of some steps to achieve this.

I can break a longer project or task down into smaller steps

I can put the different steps of a job into the right order to get the

task done e.g. When getting ready for a trip, I can work out all the

things I will need to do so I am ready to leave at the right time.

I can make decisions about what is important to focus on and what

is not so important.

I can work out the best first step to start a task e.g. when tidying

my room, I can work out the best job to do first.

I can work out the steps I need to get done for a longer project by

chunking it into smaller tasks.

I can use scaffolds such as Mind Maps, bullet points, post-its or

color coding to help me plan out the different steps in a task.
