Three lessons that establish a working map of the LCW specification (the two modules, four strands, four ALTs, experiential cycle, 60/40 assessment split and 4-point grading scale); the Lead Learner mindset adapted for a brand-new subject; and an honest baseline of where your confidence sits across the five capability areas this course will build.
| The LCW Landscape: Spec, Strands, Four Alts at a Glance | ||
| The Lead Learner Mindset for a Brand-new Subject | ||
| Positioning LCW and Your Baseline |
Five lessons covering the practical work of delivering LCW day-to-day. The experiential cycle is unpacked as named classroom moves. The Digital Portfolio is set up as a two-year student-owned artefact. The four ALTs are walked through as supervision tasks with named common pitfalls. The work-experience placement is treated as a coordination challenge with employer outreach, Garda Vetting and a debrief that feeds ALT 4. The module closes with a dedicated lesson on holding sensitive topics in the classroom with named support paths visible.

| The Digital Portfolio: Setup, Maintenance, the Two-year Arc | ||
| The Four Alts: Supervising Each, Common Pitfalls | ||
| Facilitating the Work-experience or Work-shadowing Placement | ||
| Handling Sensitive Topics |
Two lessons that close the course. The first walks the assessment shape end-to-end (60% Portfolio in Action AAC, 40% written examination, 4-point grading scale) and applies it to sample student artefacts. The second is the synthesis: a two-year year-arc planning artefact, the post-course self-efficacy re-survey and a final reflection that consolidates implementation intent for the first term back.
