"remove 'document' TAs don't really document that much like we do in VET (except when trainers and course developers ask them to in an artificial manner)."

"Starting at the line "features and formats of curriculum documentation:" and all below should be deleted as they are not relevant to this unit, found elsewhere etc. The qualification is already swamped with 'policies', 'procedures' and other non-essential buzz words like privacy and confidentiality. These are important and are hence found in the legal and ethics or safety unit and therefore are not required to be repeated again and again as a filler."

""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""

"Again per my previous comment, Why limit to direct observations in classrooms?? Schools are now utilising software to deliver live session, I am aware of a School in Tasmania that has multiple campuses and delivers subjects via video conference. I see no reason why this cannot be implemented in the delivery of this Unit, Technology exists today that can be used so an assessor can view a Student studying this course through real time viewing. If we as teachers are encouraging school age students to utilise technology in schools, why are we limiting those that are going to be working with school aged children to the good old pen and paper. We need to adapt to what is relevant today."

"Assessors shouldn't need to directly observe students in the classroom (face to face). Observations can be completed using technological methods. Direct observing is a real issue for rural students. "
