  3. Performance Indicators ASCF Jan 2013 developed by CIT WELL Team

  4. Performance Variables ASCF Jan 2013 developed by CIT WELL Team

  5. Performance Features(and focus areas) • More detailed description of the types of things a person would do at each level. • Focus area : look at areas to check out when looking at that core skill eg. reading • Performance Features : look at what the student is doing. ASCF Jan 2013 developed by CIT WELL Team

  6. Domains of Communication ASCF Jan 2013 developed by CIT WELL Team

  7. USING THE ACSF • An overview of the steps / stages in development in the 5 core skills • Assist with planning • Assessment of levels – identifies gaps • Funding – WELL, LLNP • reporting tool ASCF Jan 2013 developed by CIT WELL Team

  8. AQF • The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is a single, 10 level, coherent framework for qualifications in the school, VET and higher education sectors in Australia. • The levels of the AQF do not match up directly with the performance levels of the ACSF. This is because of the way that units of competency and qualifications have been written. Effective performance in different industries requires different core skills and core skill requirements will also vary in different contexts. • As the core skill requirements of AQF qualifications reflect the requirements of the occupational and academic contexts to which they relate, it follows that two qualifications at the same AQF level can have different core skill requirements. ASCF Jan 2013 developed by CIT WELL Team

  9. The ACSF and the AQF EXAMPLES • Qualifications in building and plumbing have higher Numeracy requirements than qualifications at the same AQF level in the areas of floristry or entertainment. • the Numeracy level required to complete several units from the Certificate III in Electrotechnology - Electrician equates to ACSF level 5 • The Reading knowledge required to complete several units in a Certificate IV in Business - Frontline Management equates to ACSF level 3 • the Oral Communication skills required to complete units in a Certificate III in Aged Care equate to ACSF level 3. ASCF Jan 2013 developed by CIT WELL Team

  10. The ACSF and CGEA • The Course in Initial General Education for Adults is in broad alignment to ACSF Level 1. • Certificate I (introductory) of the CGEA is in broad alignment to ACSF level 2. • Certificate I of the CGEA is in broad alignment to ACSF Level 3. Certificate II of the CGEA is in broad alignment to ACSF Level 4. Certificate III of the CGEA is in broad alignment to ACSF Level 4 & 5. • The CGEA was mapped against to ACSF in July 2010. ( since then the CGEA has been revised ….the revisions bring the CGEA more in line with the ACSF. • The complete document is at http://www.lwa.au.com/literacyprogram.html ASCF Jan 2013 developed by CIT WELL Team
