What This Skill Does

This skill authors or reviews Know/Understand/Do (KUD) charts for learning targets in competency-based developmental band frameworks. A KUD chart is a planning and teaching tool, not an assessment structure, that specifies what students need to factually hold (Know), what transferable conceptual insight they should develop (Understand), and what they will produce, perform, or demonstrate as evidence of capability (Do). The skill handles seven distinct starting points, from a raw government curriculum document to an existing KUD chart needing quality improvement, and routes to upstream skills when better-prepared inputs would produce stronger output.

The skill enforces two critical distinctions that are commonly collapsed in practice. First, the Know and Understand layers are teaching context, not additional assessment instruments. A student is assessed against the Do layer; the K and U layers inform how learning is designed and sequenced. This means a single learning target can have an analytically rich Understand layer without becoming a compound LT requiring a split. Second, Do cells are typed as either performance (student produces or executes a discrete evaluable artefact, essay, presentation, seminar contribution, lab report) or disposition (student demonstrates a behavioural pattern across time and contexts that cannot be adequately evidenced in a single occasion). Most T1 and T2 LTs have performance Dos assessed by rubric. Most T3 LTs have dispositional Dos assessed through multi-informant observation. The skill makes this distinction explicit in every Do cell.
