What mastery looks like

What a learner can do once this topic is secure.
  • Describe how something they said or did affected someone else — e.g. 'When I didn't include them, they looked upset'
  • Predict what might happen before acting — e.g. 'If I take the last one without asking, they'll feel it's unfair'
  • After a conflict, explain what they could have done differently and what effect that would have had
