Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Analyse foundation skills content critical to vocational competence
   • Determine the foundation skills in the training specification that are essential to vocational competence
   • Interpret the level of identified language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skills using formal frameworks and validated tools and other sources of information
   • Establish how the LLN skills relate to the skills needed for employment
   • Develop a foundation skills profile of the learner group
2. Plan for integrated delivery
   • Analyse instructional strategies relevant to the vocational context for use in addressing identified foundation skills
   • Access specialist advice and support as necessary to guide selection of strategies for integrated delivery
   • Plan the vocational training sequence, integrating the selected instructional strategies that explicitly address the foundation skills requirements of the training specification
3. Implement integrated delivery
   • Use instructional strategies relevant to the profile of the learner group
   • Deliver training using selected instructional strategies to develop required foundation skills
   • Build a personal record of successful training and assessment practices that support learners’ foundation skills development and vocational competence
4. Evaluate instructional strategies used
   • review effectiveness of selected instructional strategies and adjust training and assessment strategies accordingly
   • identify opportunities to improve planning process to strengthen integration of foundation skills into own training practice
   • access opportunities for further professional development

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

identify the foundation skills content in a training specification and its relationship to workplace competence

use the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) to interpret the level of LLN skills required for vocational competence in the training program

analyse sources of information to create a foundation skills profile of the learner group

identify at least two instructional strategies that are suitable for the foundation skills requirements of the learner group (covering at least two core skills from the ACSF)

collaborate with specialist LLN practitioners and other vocational education and training (VET) colleagues to plan a training sequence (covering at least two core skills from the ACSF) which integrates instructional strategies that match the requirements of the training specification, learner group and vocational delivery context

deliver the planned training sequence to a group of vocational learners

check that the integrated strategies are addressing foundation skills requirements and make necessary adjustments to practice

participate in at least two professional development activities with a focus on improving planning and delivery of integrated foundation skills delivery.

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

Knowledge Evidence

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

explain how to identify foundation skills content within a training specification in a relevant vocational area

list the foundation skills that are essential to workplace competence in a particular vocational context

describe components of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) and Core Skills for Work relevant to analysing training and assessment materials, and explain how to use them when planning and implementing training

describe at least two instructional strategies that address at least two foundation skills in vocational training

explain the techniques used for evaluating own training and assessment practice

outline sources of professional development focussed on foundation skills delivery.
