Skilled to go - Learning everyday consumer skills

Learning everyday consumer skills - a teachers' toolkit

Skilled to go uses real life consumer situations, such as choosing a mobile phone, to help learners develop consumer skills, knowledge and confidence alongside literacy and numeracy.

This FREE toolkit of resources includes games, quizzes, role plays and case studies, plus video and audio content.

    'Excellent range of scenarios that not only enhance communication, literacy and numeracy skills but also raise awareness amongst those learners at greatest risk of exploitation (by helping them to understand their rights). '
    Duncan Barrow, Foundation Team Leader, Somerset Skills and Learning

Overview of ready-to-go Skilled to go activity packs

Users can now choose which download method best suits their needs. Teachers recommended that we provide ready-to-go packs that pull together all parts of an activity along with the delivery guidance and curriculum references alongside our current resources.

The original option, to separately download sets of Teachers' notes including all delivery guidance, a User guide with all curriculum (or Curriculum mapping guide for Scottish secondary education toolkit users) references for all modules, and individual activity parts will still be available. 

Once registered or logged in, simply choose the method that best suits you.

Currently the ready-to-go pack downloads are only available for the Buying and selling, Technology and Utilities modules. We will gather teacher feedback on the new format and if it is popular we hope to repackage other modules in a similar way in future.
