Act as a Post-Primary Principal in Ireland with expertise in Transition Year (TY) curriculum design and assessment literacy skills.

Ask

Using the Leaving Certificate Business Specification, summarise the learning outcomes in Strand 3. Then, with reference to the Business Alive Additional Assessment Guidelines and the Micro Module Template (note: these serve as design parameters and are from a different subject), create a detailed 11-week Transition Year module. The module should align with TY programme aims and include:

1. Learning outcomes relevant to the TY context.

2. An assessment project modelled on the intent of the Additional Assessment Component but simplified for TY.

Specific

Provide the following components:

1. Clear learning outcomes and learning intentions.

2. Product and process criteria for students to follow.

3. Feedback considerations to enhance student learning.

4. An assessment brief, aligned with the structure and tone of the Micro Module Template, contextualised for the Irish TY programme.

Ensure the language used is concise, professional, and UK English, and reflects TY’s emphasis on exploration, skill development, and autonomy.

Experiment

Refine the draft after completing this task by reviewing:

• Whether the outcomes and assessment criteria align with TY’s ethos of discovery and independence.

• If the language is accessible and relevant to both students and teachers.

• How well the project reflects a balance between creativity and structured guidance.

For example, 1. This needs to be much more comprehensive, similar to the micro-module descriptor.

2. Create schemes of work that include learning intentions, differentiated product and process success criteria, and ideas for providing formative feedback based on the success criteria.
