UNIT TITLE
Set up and sustain learning areas
APPLICATION
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to create and monitor individual and/or small group learning environments. This may include a learning activity area in a classroom, library or home-based learning environment or a virtual learning environment.
The unit applies to education support workers who operate under the guidance and supervision of a teacher or other educational professional. They work mainly in classroom settings in schools, with students aged between five and 18 years, but may also work in other education settings within the community.
The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice.

"Performance Criteria 1.1 is difficult for learners to experience as school's generally have control over the whole budget. Classroom teachers are lucky to have a room budget these days. A lot of schools will complete their buying for each individual year level and leave little or no budget for individual classroom expenditure. Most teachers buy specific materials or wanted items out of their own funds."

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
edit
"4.1 Schedule learning activities as directed by teachers. -> TAs don't 'schedule' anything. If they are asked to support a reading group at 1pm, then at 1pm they do exactly that. They may prepare resources as directed or prepare an area or check resources are available."
Adam Green 20.08.2019 03.19PM
""Establish and accurately document daily routines." -> this does happen but is not common. TAs do not document what they do each day and certainly not in detail or with 'accuracy' whatever that means. Some may plan activities (mostly in their head though). I would not replace but delete as is not relevant or common terminology."

KNOWLEDGE EVIDENCE
Demonstrated knowledge required to complete the tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit:
"remove "virtual" as is not relevant to majority of TAs. This is more of a VET thing. School aged kids 5-18 generally are not studying online with the support of a TA as they are in a classroom. While it happens, very rare and will be set up by teachers anyway."
Adam Green 20.08.2019 03.21PM
"Many students engage in e-learning in the school context. In fact, computers and iPads are in constant use as students engage in literacy & numeracy activities via software programs such as Mathletics, Word Wizard etc. This is not a VET thing because it is a mandatory learning area in the Australian Curriculum."
Franki Ford 21.08.2019 10.32AM
"Agree with Franki ! E-learning, online programs play an important role in students' learning. TAs/SLSOs should be able to help students log in the system or show them where to find things."

ASSESSMENT CONDITIONS
Skills must be demonstrated in the workplace:
Interactions with students must be supervised by a teacher or other educational professional.

Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations requirements for assessors.
Missing
""must be directly observed by the assessor on at least one occasion" could be modified to "must be directly observed by the assessor who physically attends the classroom, on at least one occasion""
Adam Green 20.08.2019 02.14PM
"Why do assessors need to physically attend the classroom to observe students? There are many technological methods that can be used instead. We need to consider rural students as well as the cost of an assessor visiting students multiple times. This needs to considered or the cost of courses will be prohibitive."
