9. Matching to capabilities and levels You have been given strips of card that contain ‘I statements’ and practical examples of what the teacher does within each capability and under each level of the Engage domain. Read through the cards and discuss which capability they relate to.

10. Which level? Using blue tac place each statement against the appropriate level within the capability to show its developmental nature.

11. Swap and check... Swap your sheets with another group at your table and consider the work that the other team has done.
