Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge a vocational trainer or assessor requires to identify language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skill requirements of training and the work environment, and to use resources and strategies that meet the needs of the learner group.

The unit applies to individuals who teach, train, assess and develop resources.

Competence in this unit does not indicate that a person is a qualified specialist adult language, literacy or numeracy practitioner.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

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

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance Criteria

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Analyse LLN requirements

1.1 Determine LLN skill requirements of the training specification

1.2 Identify and analyse the LLN skill requirements essential to workplace performance

1.3 Determine the LLN skills of the learner group from validated tools and other sources

2. Select and use resources and strategies to address LLN skill requirements

2.1 Identify resources to support LLN skill development

2.2 Use learning and assessment materials to support identified LLN requirements, customising where necessary

2.3 Apply learning support strategies in training delivery appropriate to LLN requirements and learner group

2.4 Determine assessment strategies appropriate to LLN requirements and learner group

3. Use specialist LLN support where required

3.1 Review course demands and learner profile to determine if specialist LLN support is required

3.2 Access specialist LLN support where available

3.3 Integrate specialist LLN support into training or assessment practice where required

4. Evaluate effectiveness of learning support and assessment strategies in addressing LLN requirements

4.1 Seek feedback on learning support provided and assessment strategies used

4.2 Evaluate learning support and assessment strategies used

4.3 Determine areas for improvement based on evaluation

Evidence of the ability to:

use tools to identify the LLN skill requirements (reading, writing, speaking, listening and numeracy) of the training specification and/or assessment process relevant to vocational delivery

use various sources to gather information on the current LLN skills of a learner group

identify available sources of support to address at least two of the identified LLN skill needs of the learner group

customise and use at least two learning resources to address LLN requirements

select, use and review at least two instructional strategies that directly address the identified LLN needs of the learner group

use advice from specialist LLN practitioners to inform practice

select, use and review at least two assessment strategies that cater for the identified LLN needs of the learner group

determine areas for improvement of own practice.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

specify the critical LLN skills essential to workplace performance in an identified industry or sector

identify cultural and social sensitivities relevant to communicating with individuals who are identified as requiring LLN support

identify sources of resources, strategies and LLN support available in own training organisation and procedures for accessing them

explain techniques for evaluating own training and assessment practice.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Conditions must be typical of those experienced in the training and assessment environment and include access to:

texts and tasks typically found in the workplace

specialist LLN practitioners for consultation and verification of approaches

training and assessment tools based on the ACSF levels

training package support materials

workplace-specific tools, equipment, materials and industry software packages (where applicable).

Skills must be demonstrated with real vocational learners.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
