Analyse and apply adult numeracy teaching practices
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit applies to practitioners working to develop or support the development of numeracy skills and knowledge.
Adult numeracy is offered in stand-alone courses, or integrated into programs with an adult English language, literacy or general education focus. Adult numeracy is also delivered to individuals or groups in vocational training, and in the workplace.
While most adult literacy and language course delivery will be at Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) levels 1 to 3, applications of numeracy in vocational contexts and within the community can often require ACSF level 4 or level 5 skills. An adult numeracy practitioner therefore requires skills and knowledge to deliver numeracy at a minimum of ACSF level 3.
This unit aims to equip practitioners to analyse and apply numeracy teaching practices to a minimum of ACSF level 3. Numeracy teachers need to be aware of the limitations of their own mathematical skills and knowledge and may need to seek the assistance of a mathematics or technical specialist. They may also need to undertake professional development to increase their own skill levels for teaching contexts requiring numeracy beyond ACSF level 3.
The skills and knowledge needed to provide adult numeracy skills are covered in TAELLN704A Implement and evaluate delivery of adult language, literacy and numeracy skills.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to analyse and apply effective adult numeracy teaching practices to meet the needs of those participating in numeracy provision in vocational education and training (VET) contexts.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
