Where to start

Choosing the Essential Skill Steps

For mainstream education, the skill step number from the Universal Framework can help you choose which content is age-appropriate for the learners. 

The table provides suggested steps based on the age of learners in your sessions. However, this is meant as a rough guideline, as individuals vary considerably between skills, contexts and abilities.

Please ensure that you ultimately select a step focus based on the needs of your learners. You can also navigate between them using the buttons at the bottom of each step page.

If you have any queries on how to use the Universal Framework there is further information on our website: skillsbuilder.org or you can contact us via email on info@skillsbuilder.org.
