What i would like some assistance with are points 3, 5 and 12 if t is possible

for 3 is there a template somewhere
5- is that like a checklist of the workers duties, linked up to the NQS? or am I on the wrong path?
12- is this two reports, on something that goes against the standard, such as a failure in proper supervision and how it was handled?

thank you

Here are some ideas for the following questions:

3. Letters to stakeholders to inform them of the assessment process and their role in the process

Stakeholders include families, educators and the management committee, anyone involve within the centre. You can write a letter stating the assement process and what is going to happen during that time etc. Here is some information that may help: http://acecqa.gov.au/assessment-and-ratings-process

5. Self evaluation sheet that measures the worker’s own performance against the national standards.

For this you would list the each of the quality standards and then under each of the standards add a section as Educators Performance. In this section the educator can compare and evaluate how they are measuring up to the standards. You can also prvide a rating system something like "How Am I Acheiving This Standard" with an option of high, average, low and then give details. I haven't seen this sheet before so you would probably have to make it in MS Word.

12. Examples of two reports that have been written for the Assessment Committee that outline how the tasks were ‘actioned’ and how they were implemented

I think for this response it refers to during the assessment process if there was a task that the centre was not covering efficiently during the assessment visit then the assessor will make note of it, present it to the commitee and outline how the centre plans to improve upon it. I haven't a report for this so you will probably need to make it up... I'm not so sure...

Hopefully I've been able to help you,
