HTML/CSS-Module success

[LaraHuzjan]

For clarity purposes and a better overview of the cohort's ability to move to the next module, there will be a simplified module success assessment. The existing one is not that useful.

• There will be 5 items that have to be done for the module to be complete and therefore the cohort to move to the next one.
• 3 will be tech-related and 1-2 PD-related per module.
• Example of a Tech one: 70% of the cohort is at or beyond milestones.

Suggested module success items:

1. You have listed your transferable skills for a tech job
2. You have prepared a professional development plan
3. You have added at least 3 smart goals to your development plan
4. You have shown your availability on your Google calendar

@esma-g where can I access the PD module content? I went to the CYF site and couldn't find the one we have re viewed recently.

@alfonsocanuk they're here:

• PD: https://cyf-pd.netlify.app/
• Overall: https://curriculum.codeyourfuture.io/

Thabk you @esma-g . The success items look good but two questions:

• In this module we teach soft skills needed to be employable, like listening providing feedback and presenting to audiences with different technical backgrounds. Should we add something around that as success criteria to move on? If so, how do we validate this?
• As a requirement shouldn't be a minimum assistance threshold? Or some mandatory sessions? Can somebody move on without attending the sessions as long as they provide the coursework?

• We can have only 1 or 2 success criteria per module for PD. I think it's a good idea for you to suggest what you have in mind, and then Karen can choose from our suggestions as the final reviewer. Regarding validation: the classes (including volunteers involved with the class) will discuss these criteria at the end of the module and will agree/disagree if they have achieved them. They will decide whether they're ready to move on to the next module or not.
• I think there is a minimum attendance requirement for the course in general. I'm not sure how it works today but at our time Programme Manager (Mariana) was keeping an eye on it.

I think if we will only have 2 success criteria max then yours are good but I suggest we use the top 3 you suggested:

• You have listed your transferable skills for a tech job
• You have prepared a professional development plan
• You have added at least 3 smart goals to your development plan

If we will have more than 2, then I suggest this one too:

-Trainees have developed a presentation of technical concepts tailored for a specific audience

@kfklein15 you can see the module success suggestions (and discussion) in the comments on this ticket. Is there another way you want me organise them?

Page with the success criteria for HTML so far: https://cyf-curriculum.netlify.app/html-css/success/

I would go with these two with minor changes:

• Every trainee has listed their transferable skills for a tech job
• Every trainee has added at least three smart goals to their professional development plan
