Information and resources for Literacy unit standards

Show Literacy and Numeracy unit standards main page

The links below will take you to resources that can be downloaded and used or adapted for use. They can be used by assessors, and/or by other people involved in gathering learner evidence for assessment, for example teachers, tutors or workplace supervisors.

Assessed Work coversheets	The Assessed Work coversheet specific to Literacy unit standard must be used with submissions for national external moderation. This ensures necessary information about the activity and context is provided with the evidence for each learner, and requirements of the standard not generally visible within learner evidence are attested to by the assessor. The Assessed Work cover sheet also specifies standard requirements and provides judgement statements.
Evidence collection sheets	These optional evidence collection sheets are tools to assist in the gathering and tracking of learner evidence.
Evidence from the Assessment Tool	The Assessment Tool measures aspects of a learner’s literacy and/or numeracy competency against the Adult Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions. Information on how evidence from the tool can contribute to achieving the standards is available here.
Resources	These resources provide examples of thematic learning modules that can be adapted to gather naturally occurring evidence.
PowerPoints	The following four presentations cover: An overview (PPTX, 765KB) of the Literacy and Numeracy unit standards. Key issues for assessment for the Literacy (PPTX, 1.5MB) standards. Key issues for assessment for the Numeracy (PPTX, 1.5MB) standards. Things to consider about moderation (PPTX, 1.1MB) for Literacy and Numeracy standards.
