Australian Core Skills Framework Workshops Have you booked in for the FREE ACSF workshops? Make sure you don't miss out!! ACSF workshops May 2009 Alice Springs - CDU Campus - Thursday May 21st Contact Paul Fitzsimons: paul.fitzsimons@cdu.edu.au Darwin - CDU Campus - Monday May 25th Contact Melodie Murphy: projects@hstac.com.au It is unlikely there will be any further workshops up here in the near future, so I hope you can all take advantage of these ones. The Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) describes levels of performance in the 5 core skills of Learning, Reading, Writing, Oral Communication and Numeracy, and provides a consistent national approach to the identification of the core skills requirements in diverse personal, community, work and training contexts as well as a common reference point for describing and discussing performance in the 5 core skill areas. The ACSF is based on the National Reporting System (NRS), a mechanism for reporting outcomes of adult English language, literacy and numeracy provision. The NRS has been used by Australian language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) specialists since 1995. Melodie Murphy - Operations Manager - HSTAC .
