Section One – Unit and Assessment Overview provides you with an overview of the knowledge and skills that you
need to demonstrate in the assessment tasks. The Unit and Assessment Overview also provides you with information
about the assessment conditions, the topics covered in this unit, the Assessor’s role, changes to the assessment
procedure that can be made to accommodate your needs and instructions to students including how to submit your
assessment tasks.
Section Two – Assessment Tasks consists of questions, case studies and work based activities. These tasks are used
to demonstrate that you meet the requirements as detailed in Section One – Unit and Assessment Overview.
SECTION ONE: UNIT AND ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW
Performance Evidence
The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this
unit, manage tasks and manage contingencies in the context of the job role. There must be demonstrated evidence that
the candidate has completed the following tasks:
 collected and documented observations of at least three different children, including:
o children’s behaviour and learning
o children’s play preferences
o strengths, interests and relationships
 applied information to educational practice, including:
o sharing information with families, educators, children, experts and specialists
o collaborating with families to plan for children’s individual needs
o using information gathered to inform planning
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate essential knowledge required to effectively do the task outlined in elements
and performance criteria of this unit, manage the task and manage contingencies in the context of the work role. These

 how to interpret the relevance of framework and standards documents in guiding work in this unit of competency
 observation and inclusion principles

Assessment Conditions
Skills must be demonstrated in a regulated education and care service. In addition, simulations and scenarios must be
used where the full range of contexts and situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely. These
are situations relating to emergency or unplanned procedures where assessment in these circumstances would be
unsafe or is impractical.
Simulated assessment environments must simulate the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge
would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment.
Assessment must ensure use of:
 National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care
 the relevant approved learning framework under the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education
and Care.

additional profile information based on your additional observations to complete a
summative assessment that links to the EYLF Outcomes and represents each
child’s:
- strengths
- interests and/or play preferences
- relationships
- learning
- need for additional support to meet an EYLF Outcome
