      Power Up Chart

      Power Up is carefully mapped to the Cambridge Life Competencies. The Framework examines social, emotional and cognitive skills at different stages of the learning journey. Power Up offers opportunities to develop the children’s competencies relevant to their age.
       

      Power Up Life Competencies Example

      Collaborative real-life activities called missions, prepared in stages, open and close every unit. After each stage the learners reflect on their learning with a self-evaluation in the Activity Book. As they complete each stage they tick off the check list to see their progress.
       

      Power Up L1 Insights Mission opener

      Literature in every unit exposes children to different literary genres and encourages reading for pleasure. Ordering events in the story, prediction, identifying the main points and skimming are essential reading skills. Power Up practises them across all levels.
       

      Power Up L1 Literature

      Cross-curricular lessons focus on the language needed to understand natural and social sciences and to complete the unit Mission. Documentary-style videos extend the topic as children broaden their knowledge of subjects, countries and cultures around the world.

        Assessment

        Power Up naturally integrates exam preparation with formative assessment. 

        Exam preparation

        Exam tasks are broken into discrete micro-activities in the Pupil's Book.

        The exam tasks are practiced in full in the Activity Book. 

        Full Practice Papers are available in the Test Generator. 
         

        Formative Assessment 

        Formative assessment embedded in Missions completes the picture of students’ progress in a way that exam papers cannot. Power Up takes a 360-degree view of learning by looking at language and life competencies which are surfaced through multi-stage collaborative tasks that run through the unit and culminate with a classroom project at the end of the unit.

        Confident in learning. Confidence for life

        Every step of the way young learners develop language, content and life skills to embrace the life journey with confidence.

        Confident Learners

        Through focused learning strategy tips and self-assessment in every unit, young learners can see how much they have learned. They can use this knowledge and strategies to take ownership of their learning and tackle exams without fear.

        Confidence for Life

        Collaborative projects and a focus on social and emotional competencies help young learners to become confident and better prepared to face life challenges.

        What Teachers and Learners Say
