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 SFIAQU404, 'Operate hatchery'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Operate hatchery' 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
Elements | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Select, condition and spawn broodstock | 1.1 Confirm breeding objectives, selection aims and strategies with management 1.2 Confirm hatchery production schedule, labour and resource requirements, health and safety and risk minimisation procedures with production personnel 1.3 Ensure quality of broodstock selection is met according to workplace requirements 1.4 Manage the broodstock conditioning, spawning and recovery process 1.5 Identify broodstock to be spawned again at a later date and move to holding tanks or areas |
2. Select or cull progeny | 2.1 Manage progeny husbandry to ensure high survival and growth or other selection criteria 2.2 Carry out quality assessment of progeny regularly and cull or remove inferior progeny 2.3 Monitor progeny health and promptly control any disease outbreaks, sending samples to relevant authorities 2.4 Monitor effects of feed and health treatments on progeny and take actions to avoid or minimise health problems and negative effects on product quality 2.5 Monitor progeny growth and development using an appropriate performance recording system 2.6 Carry out harvesting to meet hatchery production plan 2.7 Maintain breeding records according to industry standards and breeding program requirements |
3. Monitor, review and improve hatchery performance | 3.1 Review the progress of hatchery production plan with management 3.2 Maintain and analyse physical and financial evaluations of hatchery performance 3.3 Obtain and assess information on innovations to determine relevance and possible application 3.4 Test innovations to determine suitability and adaptability to individual circumstances, their benefit and cost, and report outcomes to management team 3.5 Discuss selection aims, breeding objectives and strategies with management team |
