BSB51915 Diploma: Personal Development Portfolio Assessment

This document presents a comprehensive personal development portfolio assessment for a Diploma of Leadership and Management (BSB51915), specifically focusing on the BSBWOR501 unit. The assessment is divided into two parts: a knowledge evidence section (Part A) and a personal development portfolio (Part B). Part A evaluates the student's understanding of key concepts such as learning styles, work-life balance, work methods, personal development plan elements, goal setting, time management, performance management, feedback gathering, self-awareness, and personality traits using the Big Five model. Part B requires the development of a personal development portfolio based on either the student's current employment or a simulated organizational context (CoffeeVille), where the student assumes the role of a newly hired manager. The portfolio involves setting personal and team goals, seeking feedback, and developing professional competence. The assessment aims to evaluate the student's ability to manage personal work priorities, professional development, and apply these skills in a practical context, aligning with the learning outcomes of the unit. The student's responses to knowledge evidence questions and the completeness of the personal development portfolio will determine the final assessment outcome.
