Provide learners with a clear structure of the course and the learning process

What learneres need to learn, how the mastery is determined and how they will be assessed should be clear and communicated to them at the beginning and related to throughout the whole semester. This way learners (and their parents) know where they are, where they are heading, and what they need to get there. This reinforces their involvement in their process and creates a safe learning environment. 

In Dakora+ all subjects have pre-defined competency grids with learning outcomes that learners are expected to reach by the end of the course. 

Competence grids offer a condensed overview of the description of competencies and learning objectives. They are used to plan teaching and learning processes. They can be used as reflection and assessment tools and to plan individual learning paths. They unify the language and clarify educational standards, learning objectives and course requirements which can be useful during evaluation sessions and talks with parents.

The description of competencies is differentiated at a second level (child competencies). Using child competencies the gain of competencies can be tracked in such detail that the targeted individualized learn-coaching and support can be deducted from this process (pedagogical diagnostic as principle of learn-coaching).

Digital competence grids can be part of a grading book by documenting for each learner when a child competence or competence has been reached. This way an overview of the basis of tutoring and individual support is created.
