planning a project activity

The project provides an opportunity for learners to develop personal skills such as working collaboratively with others, planning and organizing self and others, problem solving, and using technology. The project can be completed either individually or as a member of a group. Content for the unit can be drawn from any area of learner interest or need. Examples of projects include: individual investigation into an area of personal interest; group based activity such as producing a short segment for local community radio or a collaborative writing project; or a workplace problem solving project. Activities will be designed within guidelines established by the learner. 1 Propose a project 1.1 Proposed **//project goals//** are clarified with **//appropriate support people//** 1.2 Current skills, knowledge, interests and learning strategies are linked to project 2 Design and plan the project 2.1 **//The elements//** of the project are clarified 2.2 **//The processes//** for completing the project are identified 2.3 **//Responsibilities for all parties//** are clarified eg participation, working collaboratively 3 Document the project 3.1 **//Action plan//** is recorded eg commencement dates, roles and responsibilities, tasks, completion dates 3.2 Work undertaken to meet project goals is noted 4 Carry out the plan 4.1 **//Resources//** required for the project are gathered 4.2 Project tasks are undertaken 4.3 Activities are monitored and recorded 4.4 Action plan is amended as needed. 5 Review the conduct of the project 5.1 **//Key aspects of success//** in meeting goals are identified 5.2 **//Barriers//** to success are listed 5.3 Strategies which can be applied to other contexts are discussed with appropriate support people  ·  relevant OHS and environmental protection procedures and guidelines  ·  ability to follow instructions to operate equipment and deal with minor breakdowns if appropriate  ·  literacy skills to read and interpret a range of information requirements  ·  an ability to gather information  ·  knowledge of a range of methods to present information  ·  communication skills to negotiate with a range of people, to convey ideas and to obtain goods and services  ·  problem solving skills to deal with unplanned obstacles  ·  ability to calculate costs if appropriate  ·  an ability to manage activities • completion of an activity, for example: 􀁊 construction of a newsletter 􀁊 compilation of a recipe book 􀁊 compilation of a photo collection creation of a catalogue of songs 􀁊 organising a class activity, e.g. an outing, a party, a dance 􀁊 organising a community activity, e.g. sporting club fundraiser, over 50s soccer competition 􀁊 preparation of a lunch / dinner for a group 􀁊 preparation of a biography using digital stories 􀁊 producing a song book 􀁊 designing and producing a T shirt for an event / cause 􀁊 designing and producing a community mural / art work 􀁊 working in a community garden 􀁊 solving specific workplace problem, e.g., ways of monitoring return of equipment in good order 􀁊 negotiating solution to roster problems **// Appropriate support people //**// may include: // mentor, coach, teacher, volunteer tutor, social worker, project officer, teacher aide, family member, friend / community member // The **elements** of the project may include: // what, who, why, how, when, where **__ Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit __** Learners will be able to:  ·  explain project goals with an appropriate support person,  ·  design and plan the project,  ·  document the project,  ·  and carry out the project. • Learners will also be able to evaluate the project including successful outcomes and barriers to completion of the project Evidence of Competency: all notes, planning, documents, portfolio used in the project and the final product of the project **__ Assessment may include: __** • portfolios, for example: 􀁊 project action plan 􀁊 journal/log book recording project-related activities 􀁊 collections of samples compiled by the learner, eg photos, written materials, visual materials • direct observation, for example: 􀁊 real time activities • questioning, for example: 􀁊 interviews 􀁊 self-assessment 􀁊 verbal questioning • third party feedback, for example: 􀁊 testimonials/reports from other teachers or support workers 􀁊 interview with peer DRAFT PROGRAM OF WORK =MODULE NAME: Plan and undertake a project MODULE NUMBER: Cert 1 VBQU131= 1 Propose a project 1.1 Proposed **//project goals//** are clarified with **//appropriate support people//** 1.2 Current skills, knowledge, interests and learning strategies are linked to project 2 Design and plan the project 2.1 **//The elements//** of the project are clarified 2.2 **//The processes//** for completing the project are identified 2.3 **//Responsibilities for all parties//** are clarified eg participation, working collaboratively 3 Document the project 3.1 **//Action plan//** is recorded eg commencement dates, roles and responsibilities, tasks, completion dates 3.2 Work undertaken to meet project goals is noted 4 Carry out the plan 4.1 **//Resources//** required for the project are gathered 4.2 Project tasks are undertaken 4.3 Activities are monitored and recorded 4.4 Action plan is amended as needed. 5 Review the conduct of the project 5.1 **//Key aspects of success//** in meeting goals are identified 5.2 **//Barriers//** to success are listed 5.3 Strategies which can be applied to other contexts are discussed with appropriate support people
