  1. CGEA NUMERACY PD August 15th 2012

  2. WHY REVIEW? • Response to CGEA mid-cycle review in 2010 • Numeracy units at lower levels too big • Too many concepts covered • Number not explicit enough

  3. HOW AND WHO? • project reference group comprised of numeracy practitioner experts • feedback from practitioner focus group • workshop held at the CMM CGEA/ESL PD day • three regional public consultations • draft units uploaded onto the ACFE website for feedback

  4. WHAT? Objectives: • Revise the existing nine CGEA Initial Course, Certificate I Introductory and Certificate I numeracy unit • Break the existing units at each of these lower three levels into smaller units • Make more explicit the role that number plays in the numeracy and mathematics units at these levels

  5. WHAT? • Modify units to reflect current revisions to the Numeracy component of the revised Australian Core Skills Framework • Update the existing elements, performance criteria, range statements, evidence guide, to reflect focus of unit

  6. WHAT? CGEA Certificate II and Certificate III • Make applicable to all contexts –further education, workplace • Modify units to reflect current revisions to the Numeracy component of the revised Australian Core Skills Framework • No structural changes to be made • Update the existing elements, performance criteria, range statements, evidence guideto reflect reviewed units • Strong foundation for a range of pathways

  7. WHATHASCHANGED? Initial, Certificate I (Introductory) and Certificate I • Choose 4 out of 6 units instead of 2 out of 3 for • Units broken down into: -Numbers and money -Location and direction -Measurement (including time) -Shape and design -Numerical information -Statistical information

  8. WHAT’S CHANGED? • Time is now included in measurement • Knowledge required in lower units has been increased, particularly in number • Content spelt out more resulting in more performance criteria but not necessarily more content • First number unit is about using numbers and money (not just money) • Second number unit is about extracting and using number from texts • Area and angle are included in Certificate I measurement
