Assessments

Assessments give you the opportunity to demonstrate what you have learnt and to identify the knowledge or skills that may need further development.

  • Knowledge tasks: online quizzes, multiple choice questions, matching and true or false activities

  • Project tasks: case studies, creative projects, research activities, presentations

  • Workplace portfolio: reflective journals, implementing activities, practical skills demonstrations

  • Training logbook: completion of a minimum of 100 hours of work placement

Work placement

Work placement provides you with opportunities to respond to situations and circumstances that cannot be replicated in a learning or simulated environment. Work placement strengthens your training and supports continued learning and assessment in the workplace.

  • To be enrolled in this course offering, you need to be able to meet the following work placement requirements:

    A minimum of 100 hours of work placement in a classroom environment catering to primary or secondary school students, within at least one school in Australia for this qualification.
    The work placement will either be arranged by TAFE NSW in partnership with the school and implemented within the student’s program to enable consolidation, reflection, improvement, and assessment to occur, or can be organised by individual students with endorsement from TAFE NSW via a letter of introduction from the teaching section to verify your enrolment in the Education Support qualification for the school that you are requesting work placement experience.

    Work placement is an opportunity to learn on the job and complete assessment requirements and often leads to employment opportunities.

    The Public Health (COVID -19 Vaccination of Education and Care Workers) Order 2021 states that anyone working on a NSW school site – government and non-government schools, including students on student placement, must be fully vaccinated.
    The vaccination requirement is for workers or students to have received 2 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine or be issued with a medical contraindication certificate by 8 November 2021 to be able to undertake relevant work.

    If you are not vaccinated we cannot assure you that this component of your course can be organized or fulfilled, which will impact your ability to successfully course complete.

    Details can be found https://education.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/advice-for-families/vaccination-requirements-for-school-sites#Vaccination0 TAFENSW recognises students’ reasons for not being vaccinated.
    This can be discussed privately with TAFE NSW career counsellors prior to enrolment. A valid Working with Children Check will be required by the Education and Care Service.
