ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LEARNER
This booklet contains assessment questions and activities which allow you to provide evidence toward gaining this qualification. Before you complete this assessment you should review the information in your e-book learner guide.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
• Read more than just the learner guide – you can use books, journal articles, websites (not Wikipedia)
• Write in your own words – think about what you have read and then use your words to explain what you have learned.
• Explain where your information comes from (referencing) – this adds strength to you work and allows your trainer to see where you have found your information.
• Never copy and paste – this is not your own work and is a serious form of cheating called plagiarism.
• If you are unsure what the question means, ask your trainer.
ASSESSMENT
You must complete all activities in the assessment to the required standard. This will contribute to a final assessment of competence, which includes this theory assessment and further performance evidence, for example a work placement or simulated tasks in the classroom. The assessor will explain clearly the required performance standards.
When you have finished ALL the assessment tasks, complete the form on the front of the booklet and then submit it by email to admin@enablecollege.edu.au.
Your trainer will give you feedback and you may be given an Academic Pass, or Not Yet Competent. If you are Not Yet Competent you will have an opportunity to resubmit the assessment to be reassessed.

23.Case Study 3
Read the following case study and answer the questions.
Miriam was very excited about her new role as a Childcare Support Worker however she arrived late for her first day at work due to a train strike and she now feels quite stressed having arrived 20 minutes late. Miriam is given a brief induction by the director Liz. Miriam is told to join the other work group members and follow the daily work plan instructions. Liz then leaves them to it.
Miriam is slow at getting the play equipment ready because she keeps getting interrupted by parents introducing themselves and she is not sure where to find the outdoor storage shed key for the equipment. She tries to make up the time by hiding from the parents in the toilet in the hope that they will soon leave. Her next task is to help set up a 1 –hour craft activity for the children but she has forgotten where the craft activity is kept. When she eventually finds the cupboard, she notices that important pieces of the craft activities have run out. She then goes searching for the missing items in the outdoor storage shed. The delays in getting to work and organising these activities have put the work schedule behind by 45 minutes and her colleagues are not happy with her.
a. Detail how she could have organised her first day to effectively manage time and minimise problems.
b. Prepare a daily work plan for Miriam outlining how the tasks will be carried out
c. Why is it important that Miriam complies with legislative requirements when carrying out her tasks?
