Assessment Information
Assessment
Students have a tutor visit for each of the three placements, during which the tutor observes the student teaching a lesson. This is formatively assessed and the tutor provides formative written assessment on lesson planning and delivery. The tutor spends some time discussing the lesson and the placement with the student, using the Professional Development Portfolio for information.
A summative Joint Report on the placement is prepared by the tutor in consultation with the mentor, which assesses the student againsy the benchmarks and records developing strenghts and development needs and suggest next steps for the next placement. This process is evidence based. Evidence is provided through written commentaries from school staff on the student's teaching and student collated evidence in the PDP. The student keeps a PDP during placement and this is a source of evidence of planning, thinking and professional progress.
The University lecturers who visit the students provide the necessary quality assurance in relation to assessment. |
