Day Three

Hi Chickens,
well I thought that I would give you a pretty picture this time to cheer you up before I give instructions for completing Cluster One assessment tasks. I have as usual put the information all over the place to try to ensure that everyone gets it. PLEASE contact me if you are having problems with anything - that is what I am here for.
For those students who have attended all classes and completed all the in-class assessment tasks you will need to:
  • Complete the TAA Quiz 12 env
  • 6 env Inclusivity 3rd Party report to be filled in and signed by a supervisor or other competent witness
  • 10 env OHS 3rd Party report to be filled in and signed by a supervisor or other competent witness
  • 15 env Working in VET 3rd Party report to be filled in and signed by a supervisor or other competent witness
  • 14 env Workplace project to be completed as per instructions - if you check off the items (where applicable) on the check list provided you can't go far wrong.
The important things are to design a learning plan to meet the needs of a particular target group in consultation with anyone else involved and to contextualise the chosen unit/s or accredited courses you will be using to that target group.

I would suggest that you choose at least 2 units from a training package or accredited course for your learning plan, but you only need to contextualise one of them. It will save you a lot of time if you design a learning plan that you can the deliver and assess for assessment tasks in future clusters. If you are already carrying out training in the workplace see if you can fit this project in with that. If you do not have a practise environment then you will have to set up a simulation. Don't forget to include an OHS inspection of your prospective learning environment and an OHS briefing to learners in your learning plan to fulfill evidence requirements for the OHS unit. Your learning plan should also contain at least 2 session plans to fulfill evidence requirements for deliveries in Cluster 2.
But the good news is that you will be a quarter of the way through when you have done this and well on your way to completion. I also reckon that it becomes easier and more interestin from now on and starts to make more sense. Here ends the sandwich!!!!!

This is some information I got together for a previous student to help him get the most out of the delivery he did for his workplace project, It ocurred to me that others may be able to use this information as well.

Hope this makes sense and doesn’t look too overwhelming, but remember you are gathering evidence for nearly every unit in the course.


Cluster 2
You will need:

- delivery plan – include venue resources, learner records (enrolment forms), promotional information (anything announcing the course or publicizing it)

- Session plans (at least 2)

- Delivery (2 consecutive sessions, 1 for at least an hour and recorded)

- 3rd party report from suitably qualified person

- Evaluations – student, observer and yours

- Journal – your reflections

Refer to checklist (they are combined on one list) in work place project folder Cluster 2)

Cluster 3

5. Develop teams and individuals through a Workbased learning projecf.

If you can add a component of learning on the job – practicing a skill – as well as the two deliveries you can gather evidence for this project as well. Refer to checklist 5.2 in Workbased learning Project folder in Cluster 3.

I suggest you do the coaching project in cluster 3 as a separate project as it is only one on one and relatively easy to organize.

Cluster 4

11.3 Workplace Assessment Observation Report (all templates required are in the cluster 4 folder)

You will need to do:

- an assessment plan

- design tools/methods

- conduct at least one assessment (2 showing different methods would be better eg. A questionnaire and a direct observation) Don’t forget you must have a list of answers!!!!

- Conduct assessment with an observer to witness

- Validate – you can do this by writing a report showing how your assessment methods collect evidence to meet all the critical evidence requirements of this unit.

Refer to checklist in Workplace Project folder Cluster 4.

Hope this is of assistance.
