The Scenarios

The organiser of the self-assessment activity is likely to be a senior or group manager, a programme leader, or an embedding literacy and numeracy leader. Before choosing which scenario is most applicable to a particular self-assessment activity the organiser may find it useful to answer each of the following questions:

• What is the purpose of the self-assessment activity? What are we trying to get out of the activity?
• Do I/we want to self-assess the embedding of literacy and numeracy across the entire organisation, one of the units or departments in the organisation, multiple programmes, or a single programme?
• Which elements of the Embedded Literacy and Numeracy Whole-of-Organisation Framework or which Key Evaluation Questions are the focus of the self-assessment activity?
• Who should be invited to participate in the self-assessment activity?

Eight scenarios, reflecting eight different sets of answers to the above set of questions, are described below. Scenarios 1 and 2 refer to Industry Training Organisations, while Scenarios 3 to 8 apply to Tertiary Education Organisations.

The scenarios are examples; they are not prescriptions. They have been created to show the range of applications of the ELN Self-Assessment Tool. It is anticipated that users of the ELN Self-Assessment Tool will also develop their own scenarios and ways of working that meet the needs of their own contexts.

Additionally, it is acknowledged that each organisation is structured in a different way – teams and units are named differently in different organisations. It is left to the organiser of each self-assessment activity to replace the names and titles in the examples with those that are in use in the organisation.
