▶ Data drills Today's daily four

The exam in one look

15 minutes planning + 120 minutes writing. Everything comes from Unit 4: respectful relationships in the post-schooling transition. You get a stimulus book (about 10 items: tables, bar charts, star ratings, feedback panels) and exactly two questions:

Q1 · 24 marksContext + needs analysis
uses Stimulus 1 to 6 ONLY
400 to 500 words
Q2 · 24 marksEvaluate the innovation
uses Stimulus 7 to 10 ONLY
400 to 500 words

The wall: never carry data across. Context numbers stay in Q1, innovation numbers stay in Q2. Signpost every claim: "Stimulus 2 shows 41% in 2025..." A number the marker cannot trace earns nothing.

THE RULE OF TWOS. Every part of the marking marks exactly TWO of everything: two RE-AIM steps, two diffusion variables, two data trends, two determinants, two barriers + two enablers. A third RE-AIM letter earns literally zero. Inside 500 words: pick your best two of each, go deep.

Every mark climbs this staircase

1statement
2description
3explanation
+ stimulus data
4insightful
+ why it matters

A 3 becomes a 4 with one sentence of significance. A 2 becomes a 3 by quoting the stimulus.

The three frameworks (know these cold)

📏 RE-AIM · the evaluation tool (Q2's biggest block)
LetterAsksCounted in
ReachWho did it actually get to? Was that the target group?Individuals
EffectivenessDid it work? What changed, by how much?Individuals
AdoptionDid settings take it up?ORGANISATIONS
ImplementationDelivered as designed, consistently?Individuals
MaintenanceDid it last after the launch buzz?Individuals

The trap that catches everyone: "lots of students downloaded it" is REACH, never Adoption. People = R, E, I, M. Settings saying yes = Adoption. The formula for marks: a number from the stimulus + a RE-AIM letter + a judgement word.

🚀 Diffusion of innovations · why things catch on (or don't)

The five characteristics:

CharacteristicThe question it answers
Relative advantageIs it actually better than what exists?
CompatibilityDoes it fit how people already live?
ComplexityHow hard does it LOOK to use? (hard = slow uptake)
TrialabilityCan you try it without committing?
ObservabilityCan people SEE it working for others?

Stages: innovation development → dissemination (four levers: communication, persuasion, resources, regulations) → institutionalisation (it becomes routine).

Adopter curve: innovators → early adopters → early majority → late majority → laggards. Opinion leaders and champions speed everything up.

The footy version (for memory, never for the exam page): a new boot brand spreads through a league like any innovation: captains wear them first, keen players copy, most follow, one bloke refuses forever.

🧠 Life course · the lens for Q1
TermMeans
TransitionOne change in roles or status: leaving school, moving out
TrajectoryThe LONG pattern across many transitions
Turning pointThe change that bends the whole pattern
Reverse transitionGoing back: moving home after moving out
CohortPeople moving through the same changes together (your Year 12s ARE one)
On time / off timeAt the socially expected stage, or not
Emerging adulthoodThe 5 features: identity exploration · possibilities · feeling in between · self-focus · instability

Free marks: transition vs trajectory vs turning point, crisp. One change / the long pattern / the change that bends the pattern.

🧰 The supporting vocabulary
TermMeans
Salutogenic approachStrengths-based: what CREATES health, not what causes disease
General resistance resource (GRR)What helps people cope through stressors. Respectful relationships are Unit 4's GRR, use that exact phrase
Barriers / enablersWhat decreases / increases access to health resources
DeterminantsPhysical · psychological · social · economic. Name the category, then link it
Ottawa verbsAdvocate = speak up for it · Enable = give skills and resources · Mediate = get groups working together. Your recommendation uses one
Health literacyThe skills to find, understand and USE health info; predicts uptake

The sentence that earns Interpreting marks

The data-trend formula: value + year TO value + year, a trend verb with an adverb, then a conclusion tied to a determinant, resource, barrier or enabler.

"Stimulus 3 shows weekly club participation fell steeply from 64% in 2022 to 31% in 2025, a significant barrier because clubs are a key community resource for practising respectful relationships beyond school."

That one sentence shape, twice, is 8 of Q1's 24 marks. The drills train it.

Your week

Rough day? One drills run on your phone, lying down, counts. Or just blurt the five RE-AIM letters and what each counts. Keeping it warm beats doing it perfectly.
