The development stage
Prepare assessment resources
We developed a simple template in Word for content developers to use. Finished drafts were sent to the instructional designer and the final draft was provided to our publishing team.
Prepare assessor resources
We developed a Teacher's Guide that included a series of tools and checklists to assist teachers. The Teacher's Guide was developed to assist teachers to be Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) compliant. This was completed by the Instructional Designer and the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) Network Manager, working closely with staff experienced in workplace delivery and assessment.
Trial, revise and modify tasks assessment tasks
The review of the training and assessment resources occurred at two stages.
The first stage involved review by a range of SSOs and by some key Department of Education and Training (DE&T)
people with expertise in the competency standards. DE&T selected the
reviewers. The results of this review process were summarised (by DE&T)
and forwarded to our team for action.
The training and assessment drafts were revised according to the first review
and reviewed by DE&T for endorsement.
Provide PD for teachers
The SSO Accredited Training Program is offered by more than 10 RTOs in
Victoria. Each RTO was responsible for their own staff PD.
