Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Supplements an existing lesson plan under guidance with assignments that match the stated learning goal. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Independently designs a teaching period with coherent goals, materials and assessment and aligns it with subject colleagues. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Develops the curriculum for the entire programme, links it to statutory requirements and leads its introduction across all teams. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
