Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
plans and delivers precise relevant information, explanations and demonstrations for cricket sessions to ensure activities are conducted safely according to participant's needs and characteristics
observes and monitors the progress of participants and provides constructive feedback and intervention to improve and develop the skills of cricket to an intermediate level
uses and modifies teaching and coaching techniques and or drills, activities and games to cater for a range of individual learning styles
evaluates and reflects on own coaching performance to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas that need improvement.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure conduct of safe drills, activities and games that reflect the needs and characteristics of a range of participants and are of sufficient duration and breadth to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.
Assessment must also ensure access to:
resources and information regarding participants and location to accurately plan, coach and evaluate intermediate cricket sessions
cricket training and competition facilities, with marked out field and suitable pitch
a group of participants to take part in intermediate cricket sessions and games
suitably qualified umpires and support staff
equipment such as cricket balls, bats and protective equipment
current legislation, organisational policies and procedures and rules, regulations and policies.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
observation of planning processes, such as consulting with participants to determine their needs and characteristics
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant legislation, organisational policies and procedures, and rules, regulations and policies of cricket to enable safe conduct of all drills, activities and games
observation of safe coaching of cricket skills to an intermediate level and monitoring and adjusting instructional techniques according to participant's needs, characteristics and responses
portfolio of session plans and self-evaluations
third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance.
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
SISSCKT307A Teach the intermediate tactics and strategies of cricket.
