ACER: Using the ACSF to Improve Teaching, Assessment and Learner Outcomes in VET

This professional development (PD) opportunity has been developed by the VET Development Centre in partnership with the Australian Council for Education Research, funded by the South Australian Government through Skills South Australia. The PD explores how to use the ACSF to improve teaching, assessment and learner outcomes in VET and is targeted to VET educators and RTO staff who are involved in the delivery of the UAN process.  

Focusing on key elements of the ACSF right now can offer strong, practical benefits. The framework is an invaluable and well-structured resource, and even a small selection of its ideas can enhance the way you design classroom activities and assessments. 

Join Lindee Conway as she delivers practical and realistic support for educators working with the ACSF. Her sessions offer clear explanations, useful insights, and adaptable strategies that make the ACSF easier to understand and apply in everyday teaching practice.

• The ACSF made clear and useful: A plain‑English walkthrough of the framework: what it is, how it’s structured, and why it matters in everyday practice.

• Real gains for VET educators, learners and assessors: How ACSF alignment streamlines planning, supports learner growth, and brings consistency and fairness to assessment.

• Designing (and tweaking) resources with the ACSF: Practical methods to create or adjust activities, tasks and rubrics so they match skill levels and still feel engaging and achievable.

• When alignment gets tricky, what to do next: Strategies for those “it doesn’t quite line up” moments- mapping your qualification, units, clusters, assessments and cohort needs to the ACSF without losing intent or integrity.

• Build genuine confidence using the ACSF: Understand how the framework can strengthen your teaching, assessment and learner support.

• Explore ACSF levels, indicators: and the insights behind them- Get clear, practical explanations that make the framework easier to use every day.

• Walk away with practical, ready‑to‑apply ideas: Gain simple techniques you can immediately use in your planning, delivery and assessment.

• Discover easy ways to make the ACSF work for you: Learn straightforward approaches that turn the ACSF into a helpful, time‑saving resource.
