Diploma LIS TAEDES401 Training: Lesson 9

What is a lesson/session Plan?

A training session plan – also called a learning plan – is an organized description of the activities and resources you'll use to guide a group toward a specific learning objective.

It details the subject matter that you'll teach, how long each section should take, the methods of instruction for each topic covered, and the measures you'll use to check that people have learned what you needed them to learn.

It can be as simple as a brief outline, or more complex, with scripts, prompts, and lists of questions that you plan to ask.

Unit of Competency Mapping

Assessment mapping is the process of comparing an assessment activity to each part of the unit of competency to ensure that the assessment task is gathering evidence across the whole of the unit. The purpose of completing assessment mapping is to make sure successful completion of assessment for a unit of competency demonstrates that a student has met all the requirements to be deemed as competent in that unit. Assessment mapping should be done against the elements and performance criteria, the performance and knowledge evidence requirements and foundation skills.
