will be required to demonstrate a positive impact on student learning through
the development of a Digital Evidentiary Portfolio.? This portfolio will be
presented in the final professional experience subject in each initial teacher education
program. Pre-service teachers will be required to provide evidence, identified
through several critical tasks undertaken during their degree that demonstrates
successful performance against all the Australian Professional?Standards for

prior to graduation including
impact on student learning. Critical Tasks are assessment
tasks that provide evidence of students’ capacity to meet graduate teacher
standards. They are not additional tasks; they are assessment tasks that have
been designated as significant indicators of progress towards and achievement
of the graduate teacher standards. These selected tasks cover both academic and
professional experience contexts. Some standards are linked to more than one
critical task.
• Each critical task is to be treated as any
assessment task.
• At the final year of the course these
critical tasks will provide evidence of meeting the graduate standards in a
Critical Task Evidentiary Portfolio (DEP).
• If students fail a
critical task, they may be required to improve the task if choosing to use it
as evidence of meeting a particular standard.
• Students should keep a copy of all assignments submitted for assessment. please include the article chosen and any information were included in the instruction.
In the technologically
sophisticated world, there are multiple literacies apart from the ability to
write and read. In general, literacy is the ability to think about various
concepts, write, and read to comprehend the ideas presented critically. Literacy
is crucial in enhancing healthy communication and developing healthy
relationships between individuals hence reducing conflicts. There are different
ways children develop oral language since birth starting with the ability to
recognize things, name, and construct sentences. One could enhance a child's
oral language development through interaction and play to develop social,
cognitive, creative, and thinking skills. Incorporating the various multimodal
texts and literacy learning theories in teaching is crucial to enhancing
children's literacy development. It is also essential to understand both the
child's home and school setting to comprehend their knowledge and understanding
of their surrounding regarding language, communication, and cognitive development.
However, a digital evidentiary portfolio could monitor the student's
performance. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the impact of literacy,
oral language, home/center literacy practices, literacy-rich environment,
phonological awareness, and emergent writing earning.
