You are applying today: assessing a real ALT 4 draft and hardening your own. ‘I’ll review it monthly’ is what people write when they have nothing to measure. By the end of this lesson every goal on your plan names a real piece of evidence and the date it will exist by, your partner has judged the plan criterion by criterion, and you have made the one change that matters most.

Three terms you will use in the review and the rewrite. The peer rubric in the next step is your class formative standard: it is aligned to ALT 4 expectations for a checkable response plan, not a verbatim copy of any external mark scheme. Use it to pressure-test the draft you will bank.

This is ALT 4 work. Open your ALT 4 Response Plan Draft in the Strand 2.2 folder and swap with your partner.

What your draft should already contain (minimum for a useful review):

• At least two development goals
• An action or learning experience under each goal
• A short link from each goal to the workplace or self-feedback that prompted it (one clause is enough)

If your draft is thinner than that, still swap what you have; your partner reviews what is on the page, and you fill the gaps in Part 2.

Part 1 — Peer review (about 15 minutes). Use the review tool below. Take one criterion at a time. Any judgement below ‘There’ needs a specific comment that points at a line. Finish by naming the one change that would most improve the plan. Then hand it over: use Copy/export on the review tool (or screenshot the completed rubric), paste the criterion judgements and your one-change sentence under a heading Partner review in your partner’s ALT 4 Response Plan Draft, and return their file. The review must live inside their document, not only in the lesson tool.

Part 2 — Strengthen your own plan (about 20 minutes). Read the review you received without explaining yourself first. Then work your own draft:

• If you do not have a draft yet, write two goals now, each with named evidence and a date, plus one short clause naming the feedback source, then still attach whatever partner comment you receive.
• For every goal, add named evidence and the date it will exist by. ‘I’ll review it monthly’ does not count. Name the thing (a certificate, a rota, a second CV draft, a booked shift) and the date.
• Add or tighten one short clause per goal naming the feedback source it answers (for example: supervisor comment on till accuracy, or self-review after week 1).
• Make the one change your partner named. The plan that leaves this room must be different from the one that came in.
• Confirm the partner review is pasted under Partner review in the same document, and write one line on what you changed because of it.
• Close with a required two-line note under the partner review: the checkpoint you nearly left vague, and why a date changes how you treat it.

Save the updated document as ALT 4 Response Plan Final in Strand 2.2. This updated draft stays in your Digital Portfolio (Strand 2.2) as ALT 4 evidence in progress toward the Portfolio in Action AAC: a plan you can actually check, not a list of good intentions.

Talk these through with the person beside you, or sit with them quietly:

• Which of your goals would still be impossible to check after today’s rewrite, and what would make it checkable?
• A plan you cannot check is a plan you will not keep. Which dated checkpoint will be easiest to push back, and what would make you keep that date?

Confirm the required two-line note is already under your partner review in ALT 4 Response Plan Final: the checkpoint you nearly left vague, and why a date changes how you treat it. If it is missing, add it now before you close the file.

Today you applied the ALT 4 assessment standard to a real draft and hardened your own plan.

• You assessed a partner’s ALT 4 plan criterion by criterion against the class formative rubric and named one priority change
• You added named evidence, a dated checkpoint, and a feedback-source clause to every goal on your own plan
• You made the one change your reviewer named, so the draft that left the room differs from the one that came in
• You closed with a two-line note on the checkpoint you nearly left vague and why the date matters
• Your ALT 4 Response Plan Final in Strand 2.2 of the Digital Portfolio now carries partner review and checkable goals — ALT 4 evidence in progress toward the Portfolio in Action AAC
