TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Assessor recruits (for ELOM direct assessments) are normally drawn from the ECD sector.
To be considered for this training, nominated candidates are screened according to the following criteria:
- An ECD or Foundation Phase qualification would be an advantage, but at least a Level 4 ECD qualification or equivalent
- At least 2 years’ experience working directly with children between the ages of 4 and 7 years
- Good attention to detail and diligence
- Not flustered when dealing with a number of processes at one time
- Excellent quality of relationships with young children
- Openness to learning and to constructive criticism
- Reads, speaks and understands English
- Reads, speaks and understands the home language/s of children who will be assessed.
- Experience with an android device is critical as the ELOM is administered and scored on these devices.
The training includes theory and the opportunity to administer the instrument with at least three children under the supervision and guidance of an expert assessor and scoring practice.
At the end of the 4 or 5-day training, assessors need to demonstrate their ability to:
a. Administer the ELOM accurately following all protocols and procedures
b. Form a warm encouraging relationship with the child they are assessing
c. Score consistently with an expert senior assessor.
