Addressing foundation skills in assessment tools: facilitators guide

For a number of years, Australian employers, educators and policy-makers have been conscious of the need to build the language, literacy and numeracy skills of the adult population. This guide provides information for facilitators planning to deliver this workshop on 'Addressing Foundation Skills in Vocational Assessment Tools'. The background information is recommended as pre-reading before delivering the session to provide context and background on the focus on foundation skills and current initiatives to address the challenge. This guide is not intended to be prescriptive but rather supportive for experienced facilitators with skill, knowledge and an interest in improving student outcomes by enhancing assessment tools through the use of the Foundation Skills Training Package as a resource.
