Assessment Requirements for CHCEDS049 Supervise students outside the classroom.
PERFORMANCE EVIDENCE
Evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit in the context of the job role, and:
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."
Adam Green 20.08.2019 03.53PM
"Agreed, numbers to be supervised seems to exceed the current role expectations"
Susan Werner 22.08.2019 11.35AM
"Agreed with Adam."
Rita Hermansen 03.09.2019 11.28AM
Mandated student numbers
"some remote schools may have difficulty providing a "minimum group size of ten" in the performance evidence of this unit"
Kerri Henderson 10.08.2019 10.27AM
"Yes, agreed. Especially small, rural schools."
KNOWLEDGE EVIDENCE
Demonstrated knowledge required to complete the tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit:
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"
Kerri Henderson 10.08.2019 10.31AM
ASSESSMENT CONDITIONS
Skills must be demonstrated in the workplace:
Skills related to risk analysis may be demonstrated outside of the workplace.
Skills related to managing conflict between students may be demonstrated through simulation.
Interactions with students must be supervised by a teacher or other educational professional.
Assessment must ensure access to:
Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations requirements for assessors.
add
""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 02.20PM
"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."
