Dear Lorina,
could you please help me in understanding the following task.
Major activity

You must individually, answer the following questions in full to show your competency of each element:
1. Organise and complete own work schedule
2. Monitor own work performance
3. Co-ordinate personal skill development.


Explain how you have achieved the following:

1. Organise and complete your own work schedule showing how you have:
 Understood, negotiated and agreed your work goals, objectives and KPIs in accordance with organisational requirements (e.g. legislation and ethical practices)
 Assessed and prioritised your workload

 Used business technology in the management and monitoring of your work.

2. Monitor your own work performance showing how you have:
 Ensured compliance with legislation, work processes and/or KPIs
 Sought feedback about your work performance
 Identified and reported variations in the quality of products and services you are responsible for providing

3. Co-ordinate your own personal skill development and learning showing how you have:

 Incorporated feedback into your review of further learning needs.



For this activity, you should show how you have taken account of legislation which affects business operation, especially in regard to anti-discrimination legislation, ethical principles, codes of practice, privacy laws and occupational health and safety legislation and practice.

I asked me assessor to specify the task, what exactly is required in it, and got the following reply, still very unclear.....



you are to answer to all sections of this question not based on your routine work but based on a specific task. I will make it easy for you
imagine you are an educator in a preschool room. You have been allocated to 15 focus children. You need to complete two or more observations each month for your focus children.
You are also required to plan and prepare a developmental summary for your focus children that must be completed every 3 months.

Now answer all sections under each heading in relation to the above task given to you. I emphasise all sections of the activity should link to KPI (Observing children) mentioned above.

thank you very much Lorina. Now I have a clear understanding of what is required in the task.
regards,
Aleksandra
