Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

identify need for language, literacy and numeracy resource

evaluate existing language, literacy and numeracy resources to determine their currency, suitability and accessibility for the target audience and identify opportunities for contextualising existing resources

develop a project brief and plan agreed by stakeholders and consultative group that includes identification of funding sources and relevant experts to include in the development process

develop a draft and final language, literacy and numeracy resource incorporating:

coverage of skills and knowledge identified during the planning process

alignment of content against recognised frameworks

feedback on draft resource from a wide range of sources

agreement on content and design options from key stakeholders

evaluate the final resource and the development process and identify a mechanism for ongoing monitoring.
