Task+6


 * Describe the Principles of Assessment?**
 * Valid - When I look at the Elements of Competency and the Perfomance Critera, the assessment should actually test these competencies.
 * Reliable – Are there situations where this assessment would not accurately assess these things.
 * Fair – Does the assessment rely on prior knowledge or disadvantage a person with a disability


 * 4 key roles of relevance?**
 * Valid - When I look at the Elements of Competency and the Performance Criteria, the assessment should actually test these competencies.
 * Current – Does this assess the students competence as it stands at the moment. We are not interested in what they could do 2 weeks ago.
 * Sufficient – The trainee needs to be able to produce evidence of competence in a variety of situations, not some freak event.
 * Authentic – Was the assessment genuinely done by the trainee?


 * What evidence should you keep?**
 * Evidence relating to what has been done to improve the quality and consistency of assessment
 * Need to comply with workplace requirements for record keeping – would need to discuss this with the RTO with whom we have the agreement
 * The evidence that is kept needs to be kept in a way that is safe and maintains privacy
 * No need to keep assignments but will need to keep final record of performance


 * How would I meet the above requirements?**
 * Chat with the RTO about record keeping – what they need us to keep.
 * Talk to the RTO about how they do this but I may need to develop a template to check off assessment items re validity, reliability and fairness
 * Make a point of reviewing assessment items each time (course cycle) they are used and to tag those where I need to make changes to
 * Make sure that there is an appeals process – speak to the RTO about theirs.
