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 to ensure cricket 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 tactics and strategies of cricket to an intermediate level
uses and modifies coaching techniques, 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:
information regarding participants and location to accurately plan, coach and evaluate intermediate cricket activities and games
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 and bats
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:
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of cricket tactics and strategies applicable to differing game stages and situational factors such as changing pitch and weather conditions
observation of safe coaching of cricket tactics and strategies to an intermediate level and monitoring and adjusting instructional techniques according to participant's needs, characteristics and responses
portfolio of session plans and self or player 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:
SISSCKT306A Teach the intermediate skills of cricket.
