From seeing to doing

An occupation becomes clear when you can see what someone actually practises.

01

Observe and assess

Start by reading the situation, the material and what needs to happen safely.

02

Practise the task

Work step by step with a clear work card and support close at hand.

03

Show what works

Make the result and feedback visible, so evidence grows from the real work.
