    NOTES 
    Notes to assessors

    In order to ensure that judgements are reliable, assessors should collect evidence from a variety of sources and in a number of ways, for example, direct observation, role-plays and simulations, interviews, review of portfolios of work, testimonies from third parties, and formal written, oral or skills tests. Where possible, assessment of performance should be carried out in authentic situations and in an integrated fashion, enabling the simultaneous assessment of multiple specific outcomes and assessment criteria. So, for example, by observing the candidate during the course of preparing and implementing an environmental learning programme, the assessor will be able to assess not only his/her competence as an environmental education practitioner, but also his/her organisational, administrative and teamwork abilities. Furthermore, by observing how the candidate undertakes a community conservation programme, the assessor will be able to gauge how well the candidate understands the particular issue and related environmental concepts and processes.

    The specific outcomes and assessment criteria contained in the unit standards are guidelines for assessors working with practitioners who do not have disabilities or special needs. Special consideration and exemptions should be given to practitioners who cannot fulfil the assessment criteria due to disabilities or other special needs.
