Create learning experiences for students to develop effective communication skills and appropriate s

"Students may have difficulty applying this in a workplace where the role of the ESS is to follow instructions of the teacher rather than create their own experiences"

one issue

"I only have issue with the first element as there isn't any legislative framework or policy in regards to behaviour plans. There are some policies in regards to behaviour but not plans, which is what is specified here. I think this is confusing this sector with aged care for example that has rules around restraint and things of that nature. From the TAs perspective, there are departmental policies about behaviour which are broad, then the teacher does the plan. The TA helps implements it, occassionally meets and offers feedback. So while there is a legislation that we could argue is related (disability etc.) this part is largely not relevant to TAs in any way."

""child and adolescent development theories" are not relevant here and is well beyond a single knowledge point as well as beyond AQF3 or 4. This could be a unit to itself but not something that can be assessed as a short answer question or two. Also note coverage in the domains unit."

Assessment conditions

ASSESSMENT CONDITIONS

Skills must be demonstrated in the workplace or in a simulated environment that reflects workplace conditions.

 

In addition, simulations and scenarios must be used where the full range of contexts and situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely. These are situations relating to emergency or unplanned procedures where assessment in these circumstances would be unsafe or is impractical.

 

Simulated assessment environments must simulate the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment.

 

Skills related to reflection may be demonstrated outside of the workplace.

 

Interactions with students must be supervised by a teacher or other educational professional.

 

Assessment must ensure access to:

  • organisational policies and procedures
  • students in an educational organisation
  • colleagues for guidance and collaboration.

 

Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations requirements for assessors.

direct assessment

"This unit is one of the most important to be assessed directly by an assessor who visit the classroom. Behaviour management cannot be assessed via video effectively (and schools are less inclined to allow video these days if at all). The nuances of body language, tone, class dynamics, stress etc. can only be carefully considered by the experienced assessor face to face, and then advice provided. "

"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."
