Assessment Information
In Placement 2 there is again an emphasis on formative assessment, but by the end of the placement, students aim to be judged as being 'satisfactory' against the SITE categories on the placement assessment profile. Two assessment profiles are completed, one by the school (usually host teacher and a member of the school management team) and one by a visiting University tutor. In completing these profiles, both summative and formative comment is made through recording perceived strengths, competences achieved and development needs.
Any student who is judged to be Unsatisfactory on any of the assessment profile criteria will have their case discussed at the relevant Board of Examiners meeting which will determine what action is necessary for the student to continue to make progress. All decisions are based on consideration of relevant evidence.
