6 WDCs Toolkit of Resources
Competencies Drawings
For younger children the 6 WDCs concepts are often too abstract for them to conceptualise. However, that does not mean that they are not capable of developing and displaying these competencies as they play, learn and discover. We can use these competencies drawings with younger children to help then reflect on their learning. Click on this link to download a variety of these drawings. (Early/1st Level)
WDC Competencies Posters
A selection of competencies posters to help learners reflect on their learning. Click on the button below to download a variety of these skills posters. (All levels)
Competency Spider Diagrams
Now that children and young people are very familiar with the Competencies it is now possible for them to have a more indepth understanding of all the aspects of these competencies. (2nd & 3rd Level)
Competency Fans
As the children progress these fans can be used to deepen their understanding of the various aspects of the 6 WDCs. (1st & 2nd Level)
Planning: Project Based Learning Challenge Sheets
Reflecting on the 6 WDCs
Outdoor Learning
Children here are identifying what skills they think they might use as they take part in outdoor learning tasks. At the end of the session they reflect on which ones they used.
Learning about the skills
The skills drawings were introduced to these first level learners through a fun memory game.
Reflecting on their skills
The class identified which skills they thought would be most important. The teacher recorded on the board what they had seen and heard the children say as they work on a project together.
The skills we will work on
During an IDL project these children identified which skills they wanted to work on during the upcoming task. They then identified what this would look like and sound like while they worked. The teacher would give the children post it feedback which would be stuck onto their card as they work. In the moment feedback is particularly effective.
