Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research new adult language, literacy and numeracy practices and implement them to meet the needs of adults seeking to develop their language, literacy and numeracy skills. New adult language, literacy and numeracy practices may be theories, approaches or strategies that are new to education, new to the adult literacy field, new to Australia, new to particular delivery contexts or provider organisations, or simply new to the practitioner.It applies to adult language, literacy and numeracy practitioners who need to critically reflect on their own practice in order to research and identify new, innovative or alternative approaches to practice, and adapt and apply these to their own work context as appropriate.An advanced application of adult literacy and numeracy practice is required at this level. It is recommended that those who have previously completed education theory and practice units, and/or have established skills and experience as a teacher or practitioner undertake this unit.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Conditions must be typical of those experienced in the language, literacy and numeracy practice field of work and include access to:

opportunities to participate in a range of practical exercises and projects

information about new teaching practices in adult language, literacy, numeracy and program evaluation

special purpose tools, equipment, materials and industry software packages.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
