First Block / Second School Placement (09-11-11)

Find Evaluation of Lessons Pro forma (for me evaluating my own lessons afterwards). App M.

(Teaching and Learning Section)

Term 1 folder

First Block in Second School Experience Folder

Term 2 on return folder

Final Assessment files: 3 x folders for each of the 3 pieces of evidence

Assessment Profile (App K) (like QTS Standards Evidence checklist) - this is for when you put in your evidence as you go.

Targets sheet is on the back of App K. This will feed into Term 2 Training Plan. GTs will write this  in consultation with ST and based on Generic Training Plan.

Appendix 3 of Appendix F Training and Learning Log (Directed School-Based Tasks checklist): some of the things on the checklist are not applicable to all the tasks. Mentor just signs off just on the relevant ones.

Any experienced teacher can give formal feedback, wither in our host school, or in our 2nd placement.

Even if you’re doing Group work, it counts as Teaching time (but you should be planning and evaluating this group work, working to the Class Teacher’s plan).

We are not teachers: we are in training. Therefore when we are observed, we should be graded as a Trainee. See App O: Grading (Stage 2 on this form at the end os for Term 3). Observers could refer to/use as format App O for every lesson.

Arrange meeting at the end of Term to assess everything and come up with Targets for one of the forms back there.
