3 Session Overview 1 Reasons for undertaking mapping processes 2 Unit formats - traditional and streamlined 3 Mapping template 4 Unit-by-unit example 5 Clustered assessment example

4 Poll Time Submit via Slido poll your opinion about why we need to map assessment.

5 Does your response include the following? To be compliant Accountability Because the auditor said I had to OR To ensure coverage of the unit Because it is a requirement of the Standards To ensure a link to the unit

6 On each question/ statement Submit via Slido what your preferred method of mapping is. Others On the cover sheet Spreadsheet Mapping Methods On the checklist Word document per unit At the back of each tool

7 In your RTO, what is the approach to mapping? Each faculty/training area develops their own process Each trainer uses what works for them The RTO sets the requirement and everyone follows it

8 Personal Preference Organisational Procedures Consistent

9 Considerations Useful in the long term Easy to update assessment Clear so other people can understand it Show where the gaps are Stand-alone or clustered assessment

10 Poll Time Complete the Slido poll with your opinion about what we need to map to from our assessment.

11 What should be mapped? Validity Any assessment decision of the RTO is justified, based on the evidence of performance of the individual learner. Validity requires: assessment against the unit/s of competency and the associated assessment requirements covers the broad range of skills and knowledge that are essential to competent performance; assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical application; assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a learner could demonstrate these skills and knowledge in other similar situations; and judgement of competence is based on evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s of competency and associated assessment requirements.
