The Business Studies CBAs as They Run Now

This lesson sets out how the Junior Cycle Business Studies CBAs run this year: a minimum of one CBA, your school's choice of one or two, no Assessment Task, and this year's dates. You rate your confidence at the start of the course, see both CBAs at a glance, study a class planner built back from the SLAR date, and note your class's CBA dates.

1 - Overview ~2 mins

Welcome to JC Business Studies: Running Business in Action and the Presentation. This short course has four lessons of about 30 minutes. You know your Business Studies; this course is about running the two CBAs with a whole class, from the first week to the SLAR meeting.

In this first lesson you rate your confidence, see how the CBAs run this year, and study a class planner built back from the SLAR date. Then you note your class's CBA dates. Your survey, reflections and judged sample across the four lessons compile into a downloadable Professional Learning Portfolio when you finish.

2 - Baseline Confidence Audit ~3 mins

Before the presentation, rate your confidence on the five areas this course develops. There are no right answers. You will rate the same five statements at the end of the course, so you can compare each rating with your first.

3 - Understanding the CBAs as They Run Now ~6 mins

Watch this presentation on the Business Studies CBAs as they run now: this year's arrangements and dates, both CBAs at a glance, the four descriptors, and planning back from the SLAR date.
