Input 2 - Developing

An overview of the Input 2 requirements for the Edinburgh Award

Purpose

The Developing stage of the Award process is an opportunity for students to formally stop and reflect on their development thus far. This will include considering how they have developed, any challenges they may have faced and how they overcame those challenges as well as next steps going forwards in terms of further areas to improve. This can be conducted as a group session or as a series of self-directed tasks for the students to complete independently. The requirements at Input 2 are lighter than those at Inputs 1 and 3 and so if a session is being held this can be a really great opportunity for community buiding amongst the students, peer discussion, a chance for staff to check-in with students in terms of the activity as well as the Award.

Eligibility 

To be able to continue onto this stage students must have:

  • submitted their self-assessment against the full skills list identified in Input 1
  • submitted their three chosen development priorities and their action plan for these
  • completed the appropriate amount of the underlying activity, this will have been stipulated in 2.2 of the Framework.
