ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LEARNER
This booklet contains assessment questions and activities which allow you to provide evidence toward gaining
this qualification. Before you complete this assessment you should review the information in your e-book learner
guide.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
 Read more than just the learner guide – you can use books, journal articles, websites (not Wikipedia)
 Write in your own words – think about what you have read and then use your words to explain what you
have learned.
 Explain where your information comes from (referencing) – this adds strength to you work and allows
your trainer to see where you have found your information.
 Never copy and paste – this is not your own work and is a serious form of cheating called plagiarism.
 If you are unsure what the question means, ask your trainer.
ASSESSMENT
You must complete all activities in the assessment to the required standard. This will contribute to a final
assessment of competence, which includes this theory assessment and further performance evidence, for
example a work placement or simulated tasks in the classroom. The assessor will explain clearly the required
performance standards.
When you have finished ALL the assessment tasks, complete the form on the front of the booklet and then
submit it by email to
Your trainer will give you feedback and you may be given an Academic Pass, or Not Yet Competent. If you are
Not Yet Competent you will have an opportunity to resubmit the assessment to be reassessed.

2) You work with a number of children from an Indigenous background.
a. How might you make sure that materials are incorporated to ensure that children
from an Indigenous family and Indigenous people in the community are
respected?
b. Provide at least three examples. Provide a detailed explanation with regard to how
each of the materials might be used in the learning environment.
a. It is important to learn about the indigenous reconciliation because they are first people
in Australia. But due to discrimination they are sometimes denied participation in many
activities. Therefore setting meaningful objectives in the service for sustainable access
should be included to become connected with the children from indigenous background2.
b. Acknowledge the country at the meetings and important events; consulting with the local
elders and council; celebrating the indigenous events
Assessor’s comments
3) Learning environment
a) Draw and label a plan for your ideal learning environment to promote an appreciation
of the natural environment. Include at least 5 natural resources which you would
provide in your learning journey
Natural play spaces which will include trees, soil, air, water and light will provide rich
opportunities for children. The children should be provided the opportunity to get a sense of
freedom and learn the skills required for managing self risk. They will be able to explore new
ideas and develop their understanding and interest3.

4) You want to gather feedback about your curriculum. You need to design a survey on a
separate document that might be used in an early childhood education and care service
to give family members an opportunity to provide feedback and ideas. The form should
also allow family members to have input into any decisions being made about current
issues.
In your design consider using:
 Open-ended questions
 Suggestions
 Layout
 Photographs
 Presentation style
5) When evaluating programs, you should gather feedback from children. Why should
children be asked for feedback? How can feedback be gathered from children?
Getting feedback from children provides them an opportunity to voice their issues and decisions,
learn new things, enjoy and have a good connection with the community.
It is required to become familiar with the children and beware of their issues. One must be used
to the techniques for collecting data from the children and involve the parents in the evaluation
process4.
Assessor’s comment
6) A philosophy underpins everything we do as early childhood educators. This
philosophy explains the reasons behind the implementation of the program. Write your
own detailed philosophy which includes your aims and goals. (minimum 250 words)
The philosophy will outline what is the belief of being a teacher what role should the educator
take. The types of opportunities and activities that will be included in the curriculum are given in
the philosophy along with dealing with conflicts, behavioural issues, special needs and cultural
diversity. It is important how the educator will maintain a relationship between parents and staff.

Answer Q 7) below
The weekly curriculum plan reflects a five- day plan which will nurture the children in an overall
way. Use of different equipments and props like height chart, animal figurines and dresses,
blocks and pipes make the learning session interesting for the children. This will help them in
developing their critical thinking and other communication skills. Their logical and analytical
skills will grow by using this plan.
Assessor’s comments
8) Describe in detail at least 2 methods a service provider collects and analyses data to
identify each child’s interests, strengths and goals
The two methods that can be used are- become familiar with culturally competent evaluation
and beware of the challenges related to consent, privacy and confidentiality while collecting
data from the children. The most important part is to build and maintain trustable relationship
with the families otherwise they will not be willing to share information., especially people in
disadvantaged communities5.
