Written work
Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and knowledge
of the overall unit of competency. When undertaking any written assessment tasks, please ensure
that you address the following criteria:
• Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed
• Your assessment tasks include your full legal name on each and every page.
Active participation
It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. Active participation is
completing all the assessment tasks on time.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them
as your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a student’s exclusion from a course. When
you have any doubts about including the work of other authors in your assessment, please consult
your trainer and assessor. The following list outlines some of the activities for which a student can be
accused of plagiarism:
If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be organised
to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.
Competency outcome
There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires more
training and experience).
Once the student has satisfactorily completed all the tasks for this module the student will be
awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not yet Competent” (NYC) for the relevant unit of competency.
Assessment Workbook | CHCECE010 Support the holistic development of children in early childhood
Additional evidence
If we, at our sole discretion, determine that we require additional or alternative
information/evidence in order to determine competency, you must provide us with such
information/evidence, subject to privacy and confidentiality issues. We retain this right at any time,
including after submission of your assessments.
Confidentiality
We will treat anything, including information about your job, workplace, employer, with strict
confidence, in accordance with the law. However, you are responsible for ensuring that you do not
provide us with anything regarding any third party including your employer, colleagues and others,
that they do not consent to the disclosure of. While we may ask you to provide information or
details about aspects of your employer and workplace, you are responsible for obtaining necessary
consents and ensuring that privacy rights and confidentiality obligations are not breached by you
in supplying us with such information.
Special needs
Students with special needs should notify their trainer and assessor to request any required
adjustments as soon as possible. This will enable the trainer and assessor to address the identified
needs immediately.
Assessment Workbook | CHCECE010 Support the holistic development of children in early childhood
• Direct observation
• Questioning
Third Party Observation document must be completed by the agreed third party.
• Team members
The third party observation is to be used by the trainer and assessor to assist them in determining
competency.
The assessment activities in this workbook assess aspects of all the elements, performance criteria,
skills and knowledge and performance requirements of the unit of competency.
To demonstrate competence in this unit you must undertake all activities in this workbook and have
them deemed satisfactory by the trainer and assessor. If you do not answer some questions or
perform certain tasks, and therefore you are deemed to be Not Yet Competent, your trainer and
assessor may ask you supplementary questions to determine your competence. Once you have
demonstrated the required level of performance, you will be deemed competent in this unit.
Should you still be deemed Not Yet Competent, you will have the opportunity to resubmit your
assessments or appeal the result.
As part of the assessment process, all students must abide by any relevant assessment policies as
provided during induction.
1. All responses must be typed and word processed in Microsoft Word document or other
appropriate word processing software which can save the document as a .docx file format.
3. The document must include a ‘Header’ which shows the Student’s full name and Student
Number on each page.
4. All assessment parts must be clearly labelled. E.g. Assessment 1, Part A, Question 2
5. Only clear document fonts such as Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Century Gothic, Georgia, and
Times New Roman are permitted. Please use size 10 point font, with 1.5 Line Spacing.
Assessment Workbook | CHCECE010 Support the holistic development of children in early childhood
7. Proof read your document prior to submitting your work for marking.
Observation/Demonstration
Throughout this unit, you will be expected to show your competency of the elements through
observations or demonstrations. Your trainer and assessor will have a observation checklist of tasks
to be observed. The observations and demonstrations will be completed as well as the activities
found in this workbook.
An explanation of observations:
Observation is on-the-job
The observation will usually require:
The observation will take place in the workplace, your trainer and assessor will ensure you are
provided with the correct equipment and/or materials to complete the task. They will also inform
you of how long you have to complete the task.
You should be able to demonstrate the skills, knowledge and performance criteria required for
competency in this unit, as seen in the Learning Guide.
If you are not employed, or able to complete demonstrative tasks in the workplace, you will need
to inform the trainer and assessor. They will work with you to make suitable arrangements.
We would prefer that, wherever possible, these be “live” scenarios for your industry and require
application of the principles that you are learning as part of your training.
Third party evidence can also be used to provide “everyday evidence” of tasks included in your
work role that relate to the unit of competency but are not a part of the formal assessment process.
