  1. 2nd Annual Employability and PDP Conference 14th January 2010 University of Worcester Education Studies - UW ‘Work experience in school’ EDST 2023 / 3023 The student experience

  2. Module tutors – Teresa Lehane / Wendy Messenger • Presentation – Gareth Dart (Ed Studies course leader) / Ian Alley (current Ed St student) / Aggy Robertson (former Ed St Top Up Student)

  3. Module content You need to attend your placement (minimum 8 x ½ days). You need to attend Induction and 2 tutorials… Assessment is based on; • attendance (p/f), • the reflective journal , • and the evaluative report.

  4. By the end of this module students will be able to: • observe and evaluate the delivery of a specified aspect of educational provision. • reflect on and evaluate national / local policy in relation to the selected aspect of provision. • demonstrate reflective and critical skills relating to personal experience. • use concepts and principles to assess the effectiveness of policy. • demonstrate an appreciation of ethical issues relating to work in an educational context.

  5. The reflective journal In writing the reflective journal you should be drawing upon your knowledge and understanding of the educational context in which you are placed and making informed observations. This means that you have to ask yourself questions about the teaching, learning and interaction you are observing. Link your observation of the event(s) to your informed expectations and understanding of the context.

  6. The evaluative report The evaluative report is an opportunity to evaluate and develop your topic focus. Identify the policy area (e.g. National Curriculum subject, primary strategy, assessment or testing timetable for a subject, area of study and its operation in and implications for schools). In writing the report you will draw on government documents, research material, other literature and your own observations. You should be able to draw an evaluative and informed conclusion about some aspect of the policy / provision at the end of your report.

  7. Student feedback • Ian Alley - UMS • Aggy Robertson - Top Up

  8. Other feedback - examples • For my own development I have decided to continue the placement for the rest of the school year, this may be something that others may wish to do in order to gain further experience within the school. • I have always known I wanted to follow a career with children so decided to use this opportunity to establish which age range I would prefer, … after this placement … I decided that I wanted to teach slightly older children in a more formal setting so interviewed for the Primary PGCE which I am currently studying.
