Creating Principles of Classroom’s Skills

Creating Principles of Classroom’s Skills

Towards Avoiding Chaos in the Classroom

In order to reduce challenging behaviours in my classrooms, the following skills -namely the classroom's skills of PISA and MES, are encouraged to promote students' 'seeds' or strengths.  These students' strengths are based on the Curriculum requirements and Essence life knowledge and skills that the students are encouraged to practise during learning sessions.

The SEVEN classroom's skills and strengths are divided into two parts of PISA and MES skills and displayed as below.
    -Four PISA core seeds - Curriculum skills

        1-Physical skill

        2-Intelligent skill

        3-Social skill

        4-Aesthetic skill

    -Three MES core seeds - Essence Skills

        5-Moral skill

        6-Emotional skill

        7-Spiritual skill
===
Teacher's roles:
+Start with the deficient level of 'physiological needs/wants' in the Maslow's hierarchy.
+Then, encourage the MES skills.
+Finally, teach the PISA skills.

A list of 39 Numeracy courses in VET

39 Numeracy courses in VET

Source from the Australian Government - Department of Education and Training (2012-2016)

My note: TAELLN411 - Address adult language, literacy and numeracy skills 

Through the channel of the Nationally recognised training search, my search found 39 Numeracy courses in the [VET] training.gov.au - Foundation Skills Units of Competency. These courses / sessions describe language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.

On my learning space, the following collection lists the names of the above 39 Numeracy courses currently are being taught in VET (Vocational Education and Training) contexts. These courses are rearranged at the six levels - which are set in the Australian Core Skills Framework, as below.
