Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research, analyse, develop, lead and implement a strategy to support adult language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skill development in a community program.
It applies to adult language, literacy and numeracy practitioners who support the programs offered by community organisations by identifying underpinning skills needed for successful completion of courses, developing strategies to support course delivery, identifying language, literacy and numeracy barriers to participation, and developing strategies to assist individuals to achieve their personal goals through building their underpinning skills.
Community programs may seek to create awareness of a community or personal issue, such as health literacy or financial literacy, and to change behaviour in relation to it. Community programs may also teach skill development in non-vocational areas, such as basic computing, personal budgeting or cooking.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

What You'll Learn

1.

  • 1.1 Identify the goals of the community program through consultation with relevant personnel
  • 1.3 Identify funding source and note parameters of program focus
  • 1.4 Identify evaluation and reporting requirements

2.

  • 2.1 Identify intended target group in consultation with program managers
  • 2.2 Analyse the program goals to identify areas where language, literacy and numeracy issues may prevent the achievement of program goals

3.

  • 3.1 Design the most appropriate strategy for addressing the required language, literacy and numeracy issues based on theoretical understandings, the profile of the target group and the program goals
  • 3.3 Develop an evaluation strategy to enable ongoing monitoring of the language, literacy and numeracy component

4.

  • 4.1 Work with community program personnel to implement the LLN component of the program
  • 4.3 Meet reporting requirements of stakeholder groups

5.

  • 5.1 Analyse possible barriers to communication with the target group
  • 5.3 Monitor communication processes used throughout the program to ensure consistency of communication with the target group

6.

  • 6.1 Implement the evaluation strategy
  • 6.3 Review program outcomes for target group

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:
• consult with relevant stakeholders to identify goals for community program and purpose for adult language, literacy and numeracy practitioner involvement
• identify program funding source, focus and associated evaluation and reporting requirements
• analyse English language, literacy and numeracy requirements of a community program and identify intended participants in consultation with relevant personnel
• lead the design and development of strategies to provide language, literacy and numeracy support for a community program based on the identified program goals and participant needs
• develop and implement a communication strategy that is appropriate for the needs of intended participants
• lead implementation of language, literacy and numeracy support for a community program in collaboration with community program personnel and relevant stakeholders
• identify and source resources to support implementation of the strategy to provide language, literacy and numeracy support for a community program
• develop and use an evaluation strategy to review language, literacy and numeracy support provided to a community program and make modifications where required.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
• identify various ways in which language, literacy and numeracy practitioners can support community programs
• describe how population levels of English language, literacy and numeracy in Australia as a whole and within specific population cohorts contribute to the language, literacy and numeracy demands of community and personal activities
• explain how adult learning principles and adult language, literacy and numeracy pedagogies inform community education program design, and the design and implementation of support strategies and communication approaches.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Conditions must be typical of those experienced in the language, literacy and numeracy practice field of work and include access to:
• opportunities to participate in a range of practical exercises and projects
• relevant documents, special purpose tools, equipment, materials and industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
