TAEASS401 & TAEASS502: Designing Assessment Tools - IVET Assessment

This assignment provides a detailed assessment plan for the TAEASS401 (Plan assessment activities and processes) and TAEASS502 (Design and develop assessment tools) units of competency, likely within the context of the IVET Group's Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. It includes a plan for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) assessment, identifying the target group as teachers with prior assessment skills in VET. The plan outlines the personnel involved, suggested RPL evidence, and how this evidence maps to specific elements of the units. Furthermore, the assignment includes assessment instructions, instruments, and a role-play/scenario/observation task template with a checklist and assessor guide. The assessment focuses on evaluating the candidate's understanding and application of communication skills in the workplace and their ability to design effective assessment tools.
