The development stage

 

Prepare assessment resources

The actual resources were developed by the content specialist and instructional designer working together.

Prepare assessor resources

There was no specific assessor resource, but suggestions were built into the Teacher Guide.

Trial, revise and modify tasks assessment tasks

  • We were involved in a cross-state LearnScope project and at the end of the project we actually did some piloting with learners. We used the LearnScope planning to help us pilot it at two different sites.
  • We had an industry person on our reference group who was from an actual surf shop (QuickSilver). She was the manager of the shop and tested the materials at various points.
  • We also had a wide range of sources for validating what we had produced: baby shop, surf shop, K Mart, WRAPS, Swinburne TAFE.

Provide PD for teachers

The teachers needed technical rather than content professional development. We had a technical person on standby and provided technical instruction where necessary.
