  • supervise two different groups of students outside the classroom (minimum group size of ten)

    • physical play
    • conflict between students
    • transition between different locations.

Edit

"I am happy with ten as all schools have at least 10 students who have lunch/recess etc. which could be used here. However I don't see the need for 2 risk assessments also given the emphasis in other units on risk/safety etc. Once is enough. Same with the 'two different groups' given the requirement for 10 that means 20 students in total which means considering the behaviour of 20 students. Anything being assessed 20 times is way more than sufficient. Reduce to 5 and only once is enough. TA's generally do not supervise large groups of 10 on their own without teacher support and even then it is very rare such as on excursion and the group is separated - even then there are likely to be multiple staff."

Supervision outside must be observed by assessor

"Assessment condition mandate that the "supervision of student must be directly observed by the assessor on at least one occasion" however this is not logistically practical, as there is no guarantee that the minimum group of 10 students will be undertaking a supervised activity with the candidate at the time that the assessor is present at placement"

""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""

"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."
