Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

develop a profile of the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of a vocational context based on analysis of training specifications, workplace practices and training demands

develop a profile of potential participants and an individual analysis of at least 3 learners’ language, literacy and numeracy skills in relation to vocational requirements

develop a language, literacy and numeracy support strategy that details:

strategies for collaborating with vocational content experts

a description of the LLN specialist role in the program

selected support strategies and modes of training to meet the needs of the learner group

processes for monitoring training and gathering assessment evidence

select and apply strategies to teach features of spoken and written text, terminology and language, and mathematical concepts relevant to the vocational context

share knowledge about addressing LLN issues within vocational training with VET colleagues

Knowledge Evidence

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

explain how the diverse needs and learning profiles of those participating in vocational training programs impact on the design of support services and strategies

identify the language, reading, writing and numeracy requirements relevant to an industry or vocational area that impact on decisions about the design of support services, incorporating:

identification and teaching of underpinning skills

customisation of learning materials, methods and strategies

teaching of vocationally relevant terminology

explain how different modes of instruction can be used to provide language, literacy and numeracy support services within a vocational training context to meet the needs of a particular learner group

identify strategies for building collaborative working relationships with VET colleagues that result in shared goals and outcomes.
