The teacher shall have conversations with the pupil regarding their development within professional healthcare, child and youth development. The pupils shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they can accomplish and reflect on their own academic development. The teacher provides guidance on further learning and adapts the education to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in the programme subject.
Assessment of coursework
The grades awarded for coursework reflect the overall competence of the pupil in professional healthcare, child and youth development at the end of the education in the programme subject.
