Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver RGRHBR501, 'Plan and implement an enterprise horse breeding strategy'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Plan and implement an enterprise horse breeding strategy' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan horse breeding strategy | 1.1 Determine breeding objectives based on business or operational model of the enterprise in consultation with relevant personnel 1.2 Identify and arrange resources to support breeding objectives 1.3 Select breeding methods to optimise results and consistency 1.4 Assess financial costs and economic returns for breeding strategy 1.5 Formulate breeding strategy to meet enterprise objectives and performance indicators to evaluate outcomes |
2. Apply genetic principles to horse breeding strategy | 2.1 Determine required traits suited to horse purpose that can be selected using genetic qualitative and quantitative principles 2.2 Apply genetic principles and analyse horse population data to predict results of possible matings to achieve desired traits 2.3 Develop strategies for maximising gene frequencies for required traits 2.4 Predict outcomes of possible matings to achieve required traits 2.5 Develop a strategy to achieve genetic progress within enterprise herd |
3. Select horses for breeding | 3.1 Determine criteria for selecting horses to breed based on heritability and purpose of horse 3.2 Analyse individual horse records for heritability, pedigree and progeny information to select breeding stock 3.3 Check and monitor selected horses to ensure condition and welfare status meet breeding program requirements 3.4 Select horses for breeding based on genetic characteristics, considering enterprise and/or client objectives |
4. Monitor breeding program | 4.1 Supervise implementation of the breeding program for efficiency and effectiveness 4.2 Prioritise and implement changes necessary to achieve breeding objectives 4.3 Examine and control allocated resources within enterprise budgetary constraints |
5. Evaluate horse breeding strategy | 5.1 Collate and analyse breeding data and records to evaluate program 5.2 Assess breeding selection criteria, data and outcomes against enterprise objectives and breeding strategy 5.3 Review performance of facilities, resources and equipment for effectiveness and efficiency 5.4 Document relevant information for continuous improvement and to inform future breeding practice |
