Strategies

This project is looking at recognition strategies that work and those that could work in the Aged Care sector. So far we have the following list -  please add others:


 * Clear, simple and concise info (KISS)
 * Face-to-Face Interview at start of process
 * Have candidate complete application documentation to assess literacy
 * Change performance criteria into 'I can' statements for self-assessment
 * Identify the critical aspects of evidence
 * Take a holistic approach to recognition
 * Use visuals in info package, eg flowcharts for process
 * Ensure workplace support - for encouragement and 3rd party evidence (supervisors, colleagues and clients)
 * Use Role Plays
 * Use scenarios - written and/or video
 * Provide exemplar responses for assessors
 * Assessor as 'buddy' for the day for observation
 * Observation - include talking to supervisors //(affordability issue)//
 * Workplace documents
 * Assessor and Candidate decide on strategies together - allow candidate to propose strategies that suit them
 * Use Multiple Strategies

**Strategies That Could Work - Please add your suggestions: **
So I propose that self assessment questionaires might be useful. || All parties need to know how the process will work. like the ones in grange care? ||
 * ||  || **Strategies That Could Work** ||   || **How** ||
 * ||  || Group Recognition ||   || Have a panel present for recording, notetaking and questioning - see thoughts on Group Recognition at [[file:Group Recognition.PPT]] ||
 * ||  || Buddy/Peer Recognition ||   || through third party reports ||
 * ||  || Use IPODS - record interviews ||   || For Group Recognition particularly ||
 * ||  || Story telling ||   || I believe that self assessment is often more reflective of actual ability and knowledge, and it's value is often overlooked in favour of external assessment methods conducted by others.
 * ||  || Project Work ||   ||   ||
 * ||  || Use Mobiles for Photos/video ||   || upload to e-portfolio ||
 * ||  || Develop MOU with individual organisations ||   || develop co-operative agreements with particular workplaces. develop structured programs with guidelines for workplace, candidate, and assessors.
 * ||  || Link to organisations' professional development ||   || what about organisation supervision and professional development- costs could be minimized to the organisation by tapping into their own staff development strategies; perhaps working with RTOs should be part of their own strategies to ongoing PD ||
 * ||  || Provide exemplars ||   || exemplars can be added to as more candidates complete their assessments; it could almost be an admin data entry task, so that any responses not already listed can be added; this process could equally be used as ongoing moderation ||
 * ||  || Workplace observations ||   || pre-arranged with particular workplace and candidate. ||
