They learn how to balance fairness with the maintenance of confidence among all stakeholders in teaching and assessment outcomes. The course will develops skills in considering language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) in VET teaching and assessment, utilising the Australian Core Skills Framework to assist with diagnosing the LLN needs of the teaching and assessment situation and of learners, and of adapting materials appropriately and/or referring learners for assistance. The course will also provide students with some knowledge in teaching and assessment methods to cater for learner diversity in the VET context. The course includes a period of teaching and assessment practice in VET contexts, which includes time under direct supervision, time observing other teachers, and time spent in other strategies such as developing teaching and assessment strategies, attending teacher meetings, and liaising with learners. Students identify their development needs and develop a plan to address them. The course covers content relating to three units of competency from the Diploma of Vocational Education and Training: TAEDEL502 Provide Advanced Facilitation Practice, TAEASS501 Provide Advanced Assessment Practice, and TAELLN411 Address Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Skills.
