Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver AHCPHT402A, 'Develop a crop regulation program'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Develop a crop regulation program' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Assess crop regulation methods | 1.1. Production targets and production requirements in terms of quantity, quality and availability of specified crops are identified from the enterprise production plan. 1.2. Research is conducted into the characteristics and growing requirements of plant species and cultivars that may affect the crop regulation program. 1.3. The benefits and limitations of available crop regulation methods for specified crops are assessed based on published data on the species and cultivars, historical records, own experience and enterprise guidelines. 1.4. Implementation risk of available methods is evaluated and risk controls recorded and costed. 1.5. A cost-benefit analysis is conducted on available crop regulation methods, and the most cost-effective approach to crop regulation is determined and submitted to management for approval. |
2. Identify the requirements of a crop regulation program | 2.1. The crop regulation program is developed to achieve the appropriate yield and quality specified in the enterprise production plan. 2.2. Resources, tools, equipment and machinery required for the crop regulation program are identified, costed and availability confirmed with suppliers, contractors and appropriate personnel. 2.3. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) hazards associated with the implementation of the crop regulation program are identified; risks assessed and controls developed according to enterprise guidelines, and are budgeted and documented in the plan. 2.4. Environmental implications of the crop regulation program are identified and documented in the plan. 2.5. Staged implementation and development are outlined, where appropriate, according to the range of conditions over the growing cycle of the plant species and cultivars. 2.6. Timelines for crop regulation activities are determined taking into account the needs of the plant species and cultivars, site conditions, and any other planning requirements. |
3. Prepare and document the crop regulation program and specifications | 3.1. Detailed plan, specifications and quotation are prepared based on the requirements of the program and presented to management for acceptance. 3.2. Scaled site plan is produced which can be readily interpreted and understood by on-site personnel according to enterprise standards. 3.3. Detailed on-site procedures and schedules required for the crop regulation program are developed and documented. |
4. Monitor the crop regulation program | 4.1. Implementation of the program is monitored to ensure requirements of the enterprise production plan are achieved. 4.2. The crop regulation program is reviewed and monitored to ensure it remains responsive to changing conditions. 4.3. Appropriate courses of action are implemented to alleviate or overcome identified shortcomings in the program. 4.4. Remedial action undertaken is documented and reported to management according to enterprise policies. |
