The BTEC L2 Sport Assessment Resource Pack provides a programme of readymade assignments so you can deliver your BTEC with complete confidence. Also includes sample learner work graded by BTEC experts. A true lifesaver for those who are new to BTEC, and a great source of ideas for those already delivering the course.

• Deliver a varied and engaging course: assignments that give learners the opportunity to produce a broad range of evidence types, including presentations, posters, clay models, video footage, web pages and diaries.

• Assess learner work with confidence: each unit comes with sample learner work that has been graded by BTEC experts to help understanding of BTEC levels of Pass, Merit and Distinction.

• Adopt a holistic approach: Includes an example of an assignment that assesses criteria for two or more units. A mapping chart of common themes/topics highlights other opportunities for this approach.

All materials are available in a ring binder.  A CD-ROM is also provided to give you all materials electronically: print/view these on screen, share examples at the front of class, tailor the assignments for your own use, and share materials with your colleagues by uploading to your VLE.
