List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Identify the potential or need for innovation | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to leadlight and stained glass operations are verified and complied with |
| | 1.2 | Design or production elements are analysed to determine areas where research and experimentation may be appropriate |
| | 1.3 | The potential for the use of new techniques and media are assessed to maximise the effectiveness of leadlight and stained glass |
2 | Conduct research | 2.1 | Relevant research is undertaken to identify historical, cultural and other factors that might influence techniques or media |
| | 2.2 | Relevant ideas and approaches from other practitioners are researched, adapted and used with consideration of intellectual property, moral rights and copyright requirements |
| | 2.3 | Appropriate specialists who may be able to contribute to the overall realisation of innovative leadlight and stained glass are identified |
| | 2.4 | References are maintained in an accessible form to allow for use by other colleagues, as required |
| | 2.5 | Research material is used to adapt styles for integration into leadlight and stained glass production |
3 | Experiment with techniques and media | 3.1 | Trials are conducted to establish the best ways in which the desired scenic art effect can be achieved |
| | 3.2 | Results of experimentation are assessed, balancing the need for creative effectiveness and cost practicality |
| | 3.3 | New materials, tools, equipment or technology are selected, adapted or introduced for the achievement of different effects |
| | 3.4 | Colleagues are consulted to provide information on the results of experimentation and to make appropriate decisions on new techniques and media |
| | 3.5 | Specific resource requirements which arise from the use of different techniques are set up or coordinated in accordance with workplace requirements |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Read and interpret design specifications and identify the properties of leadlight and stained glass

Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to materials and equipment relevant to the production of innovative leadlight and stained glass.
