In this compelling continuation of our RTO Superhero Podcast series, we further dissect the intricacies of the proposed changes to the Standards for RTOs, slated for enforcement on January 1, 2025. Lauren Hollows of Aniwaya Education Services, alongside Angela Connell-Richards from Vivacity Coaching and Consulting, and Maree Thorne from Compliance Assist, dive deeper into the principles of assessment and rules of evidence within the new standards.
Our discussion begins with an exploration of the nuanced language changes within the principles of assessment and rules of evidence, contemplating the impact of these adjustments on fairness, reasonable adjustment, and reassessment. Angela initiates the conversation with insights into how these changes are poised to foster a more inclusive learning environment, aligning with additional clauses focused on disability, First Nations, and support services.
Maree offers a perspective on the significant shift of embedding the principles of assessment and rules of evidence directly within the standards, emphasizing the standards' increased prescriptiveness and the expectation for practical application of skills and knowledge in varied contexts.
As the dialogue unfolds, we consider how these changes place a renewed focus on the assessor's role, suggesting a potential shift towards greater responsibility in making individual assessment judgments. This discussion prompts a broader conversation about the necessity for RTOs to integrate trainers more closely into the design and feedback process of assessment tools, underscoring the importance of upskilling trainers to enhance their understanding of assessment principles.
This episode delves into the operational challenges RTOs may face, including aligning assessment tools with the diverse needs of their learner cohorts and ensuring compliance with the new standards. Through our exploration, we aim to provide RTO professionals with actionable advice and insights on preparing for the upcoming standards, from evidence collection to process adjustments, to better meet the needs of their learners and the new regulatory framework.
Join us for this enlightening discussion as we navigate the future of vocational education and training standards, offering a blend of expert analysis and practical guidance. Don't miss the next installment of our series for even more insights into adapting to the evolving landscape of RTO standards.
