Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

SISFFIT422A - Implement inclusive aquatic activities for specific population groups

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan the aquatic session.

Identify specific population (participant) groups common to using the aquatic environment requiring modification to aquatic activities.
Identify participant goals and medical conditions in consultation with participant, caregivers and health professionals as appropriate.
Identify potential risk status that may be experienced by participant and or group.
Apply a recognised risk stratification process to the clients' information and identify and assess suitability of environmental features according to the needs of the participant group.
Address any unsuitable environmental features according to organisational policies and procedures and legislation and regulatory requirements.
Determine appropriate teaching strategies according to the needs and characteristics of participants.

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the following is essential: assesses participants' goals to develop and deliver safe and effective aquatic activities according to the principles of movement in water uses, monitors and modifies effective teaching strategies appropriate to specific population group to deliver multiple sessions that are of sufficient duration to demonstrate competency and consistency of goal orientated performance perform basic non contact water rescue according to best practice principles of aquatic activities demonstrates appropriate manner, empathy and promotes inclusive participation when working with a group applies all organisational policies and procedures and legislation and regulatory requirements to ensure safety of participants, self and other facility users as appropriate. responds to participant feedback and reviews own performance, session outcome and addresses any areas requiring modification or improvement.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure access to: a swimming pool or confined natural shallow water venue safety equipment relevant to local regulatory and organisational requirements appropriate participant equipment clients from varying or specific population group and their caregivers.
Method of assessment	A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: observation of instructing, monitoring and modifying safe and effective aquatic activities for participants from specific population groups, including the use of appropriate communication with participants and care givers oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of the implications for aquatics activities for participants from a specific population group oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of the principles of movement in water and their relationship to safe and effective exercise for a range of specific population groups portfolio of participation, self and peer evaluations, session plans Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: CHCDIS1C Orientation to disability work.
