The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) requires that all initial teacher education students possess personal literacy and numeracy competencies in the top 30 percent of the population. The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) administers both the literacy and numeracy tests to assess whether initial teacher education students meet the requirements outlined by AITSL. This zero credit point unit will enable the tracking of your registration and completion of the tests for both literacy and numeracy. Full-time Bachelor of Education students are required to attempt the literacy and numeracy tests in their first year of study. Part-time Bachelor of Education students are required to attempt the literacy and numeracy tests in their first two years of study.

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
This is a pass/fail (non-graded) unit. To pass the unit, you must pass all of the individual assessment tasks shown in the table above.
