SECTION TWO: ASSESSMENT TASKS
Before you commence this assessment, please read the student declaration on the front page. It is
important that you are ready for assessment and understand the assessment process. Please speak
with your Trainer if you have any questions.
Assessment Task 1
Identifying learning frameworks
Purpose
This assessment task is designed to assess your skills and knowledge in identifying learning
frameworks.
Requirements
To complete this assessment task, you need:
 access to a children’s services environment
 to answer the questions and submit responses as directed by your trainer/assessor/training
organization.
1. Select two of the following learning frameworks and investigate how each frame is applied to
support children's learning by identifying three key differences between them.
Learning frameworks to guide practice:
o Belonging, being & becoming: the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia
o My time, our place – Framework for School Age Care in Australia
o Every chance to learn – Curriculum framework for ACT schools preschool to year ten students
o Tasmanian Curriculum Information
o The Curriculum Framework for Kindergarten to Year 10 Education in Western Australia
o The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework
Belonging, being & becoming: the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia-
The framework is mostly for children, who are babies, toddlers or children who belong to the age
of three to five. Their educators are people who belong to the category of practitioners who
directly connects with the children and at an early stage of the children's childhood. In this type of
learning framework children are educated through play-based learning methods, in which the
5609550068045049146.docx Page 7 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
children relate to the social world as they get involved with objects, representations, and people.
My time, our place – Framework for School Age Care in Australia
This framework is different from the Belonging, being & becoming the framework. As, the
framework My time, our place is for the children who belong to the category of school going and
focuses mainly on the early education of the children. This framework is for the children's well-
being and enriching them in a setting that includes before and after school and during the vacation
time. The educators are the people who are involved in an Australian school and have the function
of planning and executing programs that are for the well-being of the children during vacation
times and before and after school. This framework has the same learning style and method, but it
also includes ideas through which the children understand the social world(Lindon, 2011).
Research how the relevant frameworks are implemented in the organizational policies and procedures
of your service.
2. Who are the educational leader of your service and what is their role and their responsibilities?
The educational leader has a very crucial role in the child care. The educational leader has the
responsibility of inspiring affirming, motivating and sometimes challenging. It is a responsible job
and has an influence on the activities that are conducted with the children. It is also the
responsibility of the educational leader to implement the chosen learning framework. Some of the
responsibilities and roles of the educational leader include-
5609550068045049146.docx Page 8 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
 An educational leader has to work in collaboration with the educators and have to give
them the necessary guidance and direction.
 An educational leader has to encourage the educators, to effectively implement the process
of planning as to expand the chosen practices and programs.
 Educational leaders also have to conduct the execution and monitoring of the educational
programs for the child care services.
 An educational leader has to regularly and keenly monitor the learning process of the
children and have to ensure that their learning outcomes are being fulfilled or not.
3. Provide a policy or job description that describes the educational leader’s duties and
responsibilities. Ask the educational leader in the service to help you collect materials that
demonstrate how the framework is applied in the service. Present the information in a table similar
to the following.
Some items you may use are: activity plans, curriculum, displays, documentation, newsletters,
pamphlets, philosophy, photographs, portfolios and quality improvement plans.
Evidence to provide Evidence you found
Provide three examples where the service uses the language of the
framework, such as the principles, practices, and outcomes.
 Dressing up in the
clothes of the
children's favorite
superhero.
 Letting the
children express
5609550068045049146.docx Page 9 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
their feelings and
thoughts clearly
and hearing it out
with full
dedication.
 Encouraging the
skills and
motivating them
to get better at it.
Which quality area of the Revised National Quality Standard relates
to the implementation of the national framework?
The quality area relationships
with children
Locate two pieces of supporting evidence that demonstrate your
service meets this quality area.
Children care during the early
school days is a start-up of the
learning process, and an educator
has to interact positively with the
children and also have to
continuously encourage them by
appreciations. The children also
have to engage in collaborative
learning with their other
5609550068045049146.docx Page 10 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
classmates.
Provide an example that is reflected in the service curriculum for
each of the following – Belonging, Being and Becoming – with a
brief description of how each one is implemented
 The children
belong to their
family in their
house.
 You can fly in the
sky if you want
 If you keep
painting, you will
become a painter.
Access two pieces of evidence that demonstrate how your service
supports the following two closely linked goals. Briefly describe how
these goals apply to your examples:
a) EYLF Outcome 4: ‘Children are confident and involved
learners.'
b) United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child Article
29 summarised as: ‘Children's education should develop
every child's personality, talents, and abilities to the fullest. It
should encourage children to respect others, human rights
and their own and other cultures. It should also help them
learn to live peacefully, protect the environment and respect
other people ...'
EYLF Example-
 When children are
inquisitive about the
environment and express
it
 When children are
5609550068045049146.docx Page 11 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
eager to
participate in
inquiry-based
activities.
United Nations Article 29
example-
 When kids expand
their curiosity
with their
enthusiasm,
concentration, and
energy.
 When children
persist, even after
they come across a
difficult task.
Assessment Task 2
Applying the learning framework
Purpose
This assessment task is designed to assess your skills and knowledge in applying the learning
framework.
Requirements
To complete this assessment task, you need:
 access to a children’s services environment
 to answer the questions and submit responses as directed by your trainer/assessor/training
organization
5609550068045049146.docx Page 12 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
 to ensure you maintain confidentiality as required.
Read the case study, and then answer the questions that follow.
Case study
Lily and Sue (both four years) are working at the college table. They are chatting as they select
materials to cut and paste. Hilda (also four years) has been standing at the table watching and
listening for five minutes.
This case study describes points of evidence that an educator may notice.
1. Complete the table below to the following showing how your pedagogy applies in each situation.
Point of evidence Response
What are the points of evidence?  Two children are working and learning
through the method of collaboration and
exchanging opinions with each other.
 The third child is learning through the
means of observing both the children.
Which of the five EYLF principles apply? The principles of EYLF that implicate in this case study are
High expectation and equity.
Which of the eight EYLF practices
apply?
The practices of EYLF that implicate in this case study are
play-based learning and an environment that encourages
learning as a whole.
5609550068045049146.docx Page 13 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
Which EYLF learning outcome applies? The outcomes that apply in this case are that children are
confident learners and involve learners.
What subcategory applies? The sub-category that applies in this case is children generate
dispositions for learning that includes curiosity, confidence,
cooperation, commitment, imagination, creativity, reflexivity,
and persistence.
2. Have a supervisor or educational leader look at your answers. Discuss with them whether they see
things differently.
a) What did they tell you? Explain.
b) How does this person usually document a point of evidence in their daily work? Demonstrate by
using an example of their records as evidence, if possible.
c) On reflection of your discussion with your supervisor or educational leader, which points could
you implement to further enhance your children’s services practices? Write a paragraph.
The educator pointed out that the given evidence is inadequate and that there is a requirement of more
evidence as this will help in understanding the children investigation skills and the learning standard of
all the three children. The evidence also needed more analysis of the situation that would help in
developing the new direction that is still unexplored in this situation. The educator would have followed
a more detailed evidence report like he normally conducts it every day
5609550068045049146.docx Page 14 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
3. Describe in at least two sentences (provide an example) of how each of the EYLF principles is
applied in your service.
Principles:
 Secure, respectful and reciprocal relationships
 Partnerships
 High expectations and equity
 Respect for diversity
 Ongoing learning and reflective practice
 Secure, reciprocal and respectful relationships –
Example- children with good capabilities in the painting are encouraged daily by praises
that they can get even better.
 Partnerships
Example- children groups that are formed for the collecting activities.
 High expectations and equity
The example is, in the difficult task the children display interest and enthusiasm, and they
are, then further encourage by the educator that they can complete it successfully if they
stay determined and focused.
 Respect for diversity
A school is a place where children from different cultures and regions come under the
same roof. All the children should have a universal respect that they are educated about in
the class and are asked to follow it in their daily lives too.
 Ongoing learning and reflective practice
Examples- the practices that include objects like aluminum foil, bubble wraps, egg cartons,
different shapes of stencils and many other objects that are utilized for the development
of the social world of the children.
5609550068045049146.docx Page 15 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
Assessment Task 3
Workplace Task 1
1. Investigate and document at least two examples of how the learning framework is demonstrated in
the service? Research and document at least one example of how each principle of the learning
framework is reflected in the service?
The framework EYLF has been implemented by involving the families of the children too, by this
initiative the framework has been added to the community in which the children live and
experience maximum development under this environment. The other example that can be
included here is there is a compulsory presence of each teacher in every classroom, and the rest of
the teachers have to stay at specific spots so that the children can find the teacher they are looking
for easily.
2. Provide three examples of pedagogical practice that you have been involved in.
5609550068045049146.docx Page 16 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
 Learning through the methods of collaboration that is used in planning and
implementation.
 An effective plan for behavior management.
 The continuous encouragement towards important skills that will be further beneficial in
life.
Workplace Task 2
1. Reflect on the five principles of the EYLF and explain how each is reflected in your service.
 Respectful, reciprocal and secure relationships
As a teacher, it is a duty to continuously encourage the children to push themselves and
attempt to improve their work. The painting of most of the children is good, and the
potential that they show is extraordinary. Thus the regular push will help them to attain
high standards.
 Partnerships
The children working in a group should work peacefully and accept the opinion of each
person. They should decide which things to be used and this decision should be made in
collaboration.
 High expectations and equity
The children have an evolving mind, and they are very curious. This has to be used in
solving the difficult activities or task that comes their way. They have to be given freedom
to work freely and with full enthusiasm.
 Respect for diversity
The groups that are formed should be created with the focus of diversity. Each child in the
group should know that all cultures have to be respected.
 Ongoing learning and reflective practice
The learning through the various objects, imagination and many other different means
5609550068045049146.docx Page 17 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
should be shared amongst children by allowing them to openly express their opinions and
feelings.
2. Reflect on the eight practices of the EYLF. For each practice, explain how each is reflected in your
service.
 Holistic approaches- new ideas for learning
 Responsiveness to children- continuous encouragement for good work.
 Learning through play- learning through their imagination and transferring them into
stories.
 Intentional teaching- positively correcting the child’s thoughts if they express something
negative or wrong.
 Learning environments- the collaboration of children in groups.
 Cultural competence- diverse groups and learning.
 Continuity of learning and transitions- the various stages that are created in the program
for development and growth.
 Assessment for learning- judging the children work and giving them honest feedback but
with a positive attitude(Carnevale&Manjavidze, 2016).

This assessment task is designed to assess your skills and knowledge across the whole unit
CHCECE009 Use an approved learning framework to guide practice.
Requirements
To complete this assessment task, you need:
 access to a children’s services environment
 to complete the tasks outlined and submit responses as directed by your trainer/assessor/training
organization

Read the following service philosophy and answer the questions that follow. Remember that this is the
philosophy of one service, and each service has their own interpretation of how the framework and
other aspects of the curriculum are implemented.
Service philosophy
At One World Children's Centre, our philosophy is to support children to develop to their maximum
potential in their social, emotional, personal, moral, cognitive and physical growth. We are committed
to enhancing children's self-esteem through daily interactions, developmentally appropriate
experiences and relationships based on mutual trust and respect. Further, we honor the child's right
to play, in acknowledgment of the major contribution of play to development, in a safe and stimulating
environment.
At the Centre, we strive to develop positive, supportive relationships with families, based on open
communication and sharing of knowledge and skills. We consider each family unique in its structure,
culture, and values and respect the special relationship between children and their families,
incorporating this perspective in all interactions with children. We believe that together the staff and
the parents create a partnership that provides for the best interests of young children and families.
We recognize staff as our most precious resource and aim to provide them with a satisfying,
stimulating and safe working environment. We ensure staff is supported to reflect on their practices
regularly and encourage all educators to contribute their ideas toward the daily curriculum.
The Centre aims to equip the children with life skills that will enable them to experience fulfilling and
rewarding participation within their community, through providing opportunities to work together
cooperatively, to explore human relationships and to practice nonviolent conflict resolution strategies.
The Centre aims to develop and implement environmentally sound practices that recognize our
responsibility to protect and preserve the environment, and to foster in children an ongoing
commitment to caring for the world in which they live.
We aim to provide a high-quality service to children, their families, and the community.
At One World Children's Centre the program planning philosophy is designed to reflect the needs of
the children by the Early Years Learning Framework and My Time, Our Place – Framework for
5609550068045049146.docx Page 19 of 29

Student Assessment Workbook
School Age Care in Australia. Programming covers all learning outcomes: identity, community,
wellbeing, learning, and communication.
The Early Years Learning Framework and Framework for School Age Care describe childhood as a
time of belonging, being and becoming. We incorporate these three elements into our planning:
 Belonging is the basis for living a fulfilling life – children feel they belong because of the
relationships they have with their family, community, culture, and place.
 Being is about living here and now – childhood is a special time in life and children need time to
just ‘be’ – time to play, try new things and have fun.
 Becoming is about the learning and development that young children experience – children start
to form their sense of identity from an early age, which shapes the type of adult they will become.
The play is the learning process that enables children to learn through concrete hands-on
experiences such as doing, experimenting, predicting, trial and error, and achieving. As children play
to learn, they bring their own unique talents to the education process.
All children have the right to participate in the program by ensuring children of differing genders,
abilities and cultures have equal access to experiences and equipment provided within the program.
A variety of multicultural, non-gender-biased, additional needs and environmentally sensitive
equipment is used within the Centre. Books, music, and posters allow the children to see a well-
balanced perspective of the world that subtly convey messages of sustainability, peace and respect.
The programs incorporate ideas and principles of Steiner, Montessori and Reggio Emilia ensuring
that our programs are of best practice.
Parent participation and involvement is an important aspect of the overall program planning process.
It is essential to maintain continuity between the home, the community and the Centre, to give the
children a sense of belonging. We also endeavor to involve parents to ensure a collaborative
approach to the overall development of each child's experience within the program.
All transition times, including mealtimes, sleep times, toileting and nappy-changing times, are used as
learning experiences as well as relaxed social times for both the staff and children.
