Description
Session full? Why not enrol for the Assessing Learners Effectively eLearn? Places are limited, so get in quick!
Blended Learning Program, Part 1 & Part 2 (attendance is required at both parts of this multi-part program).
The Victorian Skills Authority (VSA) provides funding to the VET Development Centre (VDC), to deliver workforce development training to improve the knowledge, skills and practice of VET teachers, trainers and assessors, and strengthen the learning environment, experience and outcomes for all VET learners. These are specific professional learning programs for the Victorian Government funded vocational education sector in priority areas, as a response to the Government’s commitment to quality training outcomes.
Assessing Learners Effectively has been designed and adapted into highly interactive Blended Learning Programs. These virtual sessions will draw on educational theory and VET policy to promote reflective practice and build advanced training and assessment skills.
Registrants will need to ensure they can attend both online sessions and allow time to complete the activities prior to each session.
Sessions will be run in a smaller group, with break out rooms for group discussion and ample opportunity to converse with group members and the facilitator to collaborate, share ideas and insights.
If registering in both Assessing Learners Effectively and Quality Assessment Practices, the Assessing Learners Effectively program should be undertaken first and then Quality Assessment Practices.
Multi-part blended programs provide an in-depth learning opportunity. They use the model of ‘plan, act, observe, reflect’ both during and between each session. Therefore, a commitment to attend each part of the multi-part program is imperative to achieve the desired outcome.
