Unit Standard 21204Develop adult learners' literacy and numeracy skills within a training or education programme This unit standard is intended to raise the literacy awareness of an adult educator from a non-literacy subject area where the main purpose is to develop skills other than literacy. This adult educator may have learners who need literacy skills' development to successfully achieve in a training or education programme that is not a specialist literacy and/or ESOL programme. The adult educator is likely to be delivering a programme and will be recognised as an adult educator in their own field. This unit standard assumes a professional level of expertise in adult education and training, including cultural perspectives that underpin their teaching to Maori learners and learners from other cultures. People credited with this unit standard are able to describe adult literacy in Aotearoa New Zealand, including in relation to the programme, describing Maori literacy; and, in the context of an actual education or training programme with actual learners: identify the literacy demands of the programme, identify the literacy strengths and needs of the individual learners in the programme; integrate literacy skill development into the delivery of the programme; use literacy teaching strategies to promote adult literacy skill development in the programme; assess learner literacy progress in the programme; and evaluate effectiveness of literacy teaching strategies and learning activities and any specialist adult literacy support in the programme. edit

The Teaching and Learning ProcessThe resource books that accompany the learning progressions (see the reference list or go to TEC Website ) show how the learning progressions can be used to support teaching and learning using three key aspects of effective teaching and learning practice.
This three-sided or triangle model is a useful basis for planning and teaching, and should be reflected your practice with learners. Go to Embedding Literacy and Numeracy Module for more about the teaching and learning process. |
