How are Liverpool Hope University ITE students assessed?
Liverpool Hope University adopts a holistic approach to the monitoring and assessment of trainees whilst on professional practice. This takes place within a variety of contexts:
Trainee reflection
Weekly Progress Discussions meetings and the completion of Weekly Progress Meeting Forms
Within taught university sessions, through activities and interactions
Lesson observations and focussed pedagogical discussions
Professional Placement tutor (PPT)/Subject Tutor visits
Key assessment points (e.g. Progress Review and Final Progress Reports)
Additional support for trainee causing concern (targeted support plans) procedures as appropriate
Progress Review and Final Review
Assessment against the key components identified in the school based curriculum training plan takes place at Progress Review 1 and Final Progress review. The review and progress tracker are on the e-profile and are to be completed by the mentor in discussion with the trainee identifying which components have been met.
During the placement, mentors need to consider how well a trainee is mastering the components of our ITE curriculum using the component tracker and assess the accumulation of knowledge over time. Mentors will also consider trainee progress against the learning outcomes for each placement and together make a final holistic judgement.
