What is a Junior Cycle CBA planner?
A Junior Cycle CBA planner turns your idea into a complete Classroom-Based Assessment task that follows your NCCA subject specification and its assessment guidelines. Type a topic or idea, pick CBA 1 or CBA 2, and set the subject and year. You get a student-facing brief in plain language, linked learning outcomes and key skills, a timeline in weeks, what teacher support is and isn't allowed, success criteria, the four Features of Quality (Exceptional, Above expectations, In line with expectations, Yet to meet expectations) adapted to the task, and a checklist for the SLAR meeting. Make it simpler, add examples or shorten it, then download a Word file or print it.
