Skill levels
What Self-Awareness looks like at each level
Pick the level you can show today, from what you can do on your own.
Level 1
Foundational
Routine tasks, with guidance when things change.
You can do familiar tasks and you understand the basic ideas. When a task varies or gets difficult you ask for help.
Level 2
Intermediate
Common tasks on your own, help only for the hard ones.
You handle everyday work independently and cope with moderate variation. You need support only occasionally, in difficult situations.
Level 3
Advanced
Complex or unfamiliar situations, with little guidance.
You use judgement in new situations, fix problems at their cause, improve how the work is done and help others do it well.
These are the general levels used for every skill. Examples specific to Self-Awareness have not been written yet.
