Ensure learners are informed of criteria
- The resources developed for the program include a learners’ information web site that provides information about the program including assessment benchmarks and approaches.
- Each assessment task provides detailed information and guidelines about the assessment requirements.
- For trainees, we ensure on our face-to-face visits that they are fully informed of the assessment criteria.
Conduct and manage the assessment process
Jean was the assessment consultant for the project. It was already built into College practice that certain issues needed to be addressed:
- literacy
- VET in schools.
We established a very collaborative environment to support teachers.
Information relevant to managing the assessment process was emailed to teachers.
Professional development for teachers was critical and, where there was a lack of this, it caused problems.
Ensure authenticity of submitted tasks
This was not an issue as in the retail environment practical assessment
is required. There was a workplace assessment peer. Teachers developed relationships
with learners through face-to-face and online communication and so had a
good idea of their level of competence before assessment.
