TAFE SA Code: Nominal Hours: Unit Descriptor:
The focus of this unit is for the learner to assemble an assessment portfolio by choosing from work which best represents their achievement, taken from a range of units completed within the course.
CAAEX 20
Application of Unit:
This unit applies to learners wanting to develop learning skills for self, employment, education and/or community participation. Learners will start to examine their learning through the course of their study. They will choose and present pieces of work that represents their progress to demonstrate that they have reached ACSF 2 across the 5 areas as well as gaining the computing skills. The folio will be used to apply for the Certificate 1 in Education and Skills Development qualification, but could also be used as evidence for applying for employment, for a course or to present to a case worker. This unit can only be completed concurrently with at least one, but preferably more, units of competency, from which to choose assessment pieces. It can also be used as part of a case management process along with Negotiate a learning plan, CAAEW. This unit should ensure the learner has the necessary skills to achieve level 2 of the ACSF indicators of competence for learning. See Australian Core Skills framework levels of Performance for more detail. http://deewr.gov.au/SKILLS/PROGRAMS/LITANDNUM/ACSF/Pages/default.aspx To achieve competence in this unit the young person must be able to discuss the purpose of the folio, compile an evidence folio incorporating different types of evidence from a range of units and with support, choose from a broader range of evidence, that which best meets the purpose of the folio.

Cert 1 ESD Compulsory Unit

You are required to develop an assessment portfolio for the Certificate 1 ESD.
What is a portfolio?
A portfolio is a collection of carefully selected work that showcases your achievements for the Cert 1 ESD and the progress you have made.
Why develop a portfolio?

There are several different types of portfolio and each have a different purpose.
Growth Portfolio
This portfolio includes work that shows your progress over time. It can be used to help you reflect on what you have learnt and then work out future goals for learning. The main purpose of this portfolio is to show progress.
Showcase Portfolio
This portfolio is like your own personal brag book as it shows all the great work you have done and your achievements. The main purpose of this portfolio is to show your best work and the final products.
Evaluation Portfolio
This portfolio is where you show that you have achieved the learning outcomes for a particular course you may be doing. The main purpose for this portfolio is to demonstrate you have achieved the learning requirements. A portfolio may include elements of all the different types and be used for a range of different things. The Cert 1 ESD portfolio is mainly an Evaluation portfolio and will be used to demonstrate that you have achieved the outcomes for the Certificate 1 ESD. However, there are certainly elements of all three portfolios included, as there will be the opportunity to look at some your early work and reflect on the progress you have made (Growth Portfolio) and you may want to share your portfolio with others and show off all your great work (Showcase Portfolio).
What will my portfolio look like?

This is where you can get creative! Portfolios can be paper based or electronic or a combination of both.

What can I put in my Portfolio?

You need to make some decisions about what to put in your Portfolio so that there is enough information in there to demonstrate all your great learning. Watch out you dont put everything in there!!! You need to select your work carefully so have a chat with your teacher or case manager and they can help you out with this one.
Here are some ideas to think about:

Rough drafts of work and then final drafts Editing checklists Goals you have identified Reflection sheets Results of any assessments you have done Certificates and awards Self assessments Peer assessments Learning tasks
Who will look at my portfolio?

Portfolios are meant to be shared and provide a great opportunity to celebrate your successes! Thinking about the audience of your portfolio will help you to decide what information to put in it. Your facilitator and case manager will support you in developing your portfolio, so they will definitely see your work. TafeSA will also see your work as they will accredit the learning you have done in the Certificate 1 ESD course.
Some other people you may choose to share you work with are:
family friends school staff employers
How do I organise my portfolio?

Think about ways to make your portfolio easy to read and understand. You may like to think about including: list of contents summary headings for different sections graphic organisers e.g. navigation maps
Remember, if you are using digital media you still need to think about how to organise your work
Some other questions to consider include:

Where will I store my portfolio to keep it safe? Will I collect my work samples as I go or wait until the end to pull my portfolio together? Who are the best people to support me to develop my portfolio? How will I share this information when I have finished my portfolio?
Lets make some decisions

What is the purpose of my learning portfolio?
Why do I need to develop a portfolio?
Who will look at my portfolio?
What will my portfolio look like?
What will I put in it?
How will I organise it so that it makes sense?
When will I develop my portfolio?
How often will I review it?
