27 September 2021: The ABC of the ACSF

Presented by:   David Tout

Brought to you by one of the authors of the ACSF, this session will briefly cover the essential features of the ACSF, and try to give you insights into how it is structured and written, providing you with some understanding, and hints, about how to read and interpret the complex ACSF document and the meaning of its different levels. It will also touch on how the ACSF can be used to support learners with LLN challenges in your delivery and assessment of VET. Note: the session is not targeted at LLN specialists.

This Member’s Lunchbox is an introductory, or refresher, session aimed at VET practitioners who want to know more about the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF), the Australian standards for adult literacy and numeracy.

Key topics covered within the webinar

  • Background and intro to the ACSF and its structure
  • What’s new in the ACSF
  • Inside the ACSF: using and understanding the ACSF
  • What do the ACSF levels mean?
  •  What can you do re LLN?
