Analyse and apply adult numeracy teaching practices

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

2.2 Identify range of learning goals of those participating in numeracy provision

2.3 Use validated frameworks to develop and evaluate learner profiles

2.4 Review own mathematical skills and knowledge in relation to addressing the skill needs of others and seek assistance from mathematics or technical specialist where required

3. Select from a range of teaching approaches and learning resources to develop participants’ numeracy skills and knowledge

3.1 Evaluate teaching approaches that identify mathematical information and meaning in authentic and relevant contexts and teach mathematical terminology and language

3.2 Evaluate teaching approaches that incorporate reasoning, problem-solving and estimation activities

3.3 Determine the applicability of teaching approaches to specific needs, levels of numeracy, learning styles, and context of those participating in numeracy provision

3.4 Identify where assistance from mathematics or technical specialists may be needed to address higher level mathematical skills or the application of numeracy in a specific vocational context

3.5 Examine learning resources from traditional, new and emerging technologies that link to numeracy learning outcomes and promote learner engagement with tasks and activities

3.6 Evaluate materials relevant to social and cultural needs of those participating in numeracy provision
