(Proforma: Appendix 4)
TheBlock Placement • Teaching requirements = Progressive • 10% = file time (planning, evaluating, reflecting on progress etc.) • 40% = professional development (observing other year groups, working on University tasks, making observations of children, display work etc.) This needs to be specifically timetabled. • 10% = half a day

Teaching Requirements Planning: Handbook pg. 12 • Planning proforma on the Primary Partnership website Students need to: • Plan for differentiation - be specific! • Plan for additional adults – in all taught sessions. Share this and gather feedback relating to children’s learning. • Separate EYFS planner.
Teaching and Assessment Students must: • Discuss and complete a detailed evaluation of each lesson they teach – comment on the impact on the children’s learning, their professional development AND the next steps for both children and themselves. (Proformaon the website) • Gather samples of children’s work – mark and annotate • Ensure consistent use of the Additional Adults Feedback sheets • Assessment of children’s learning need to start to inform student’s future planning and teaching as the block develops! • Students are not be afraid to write on/annotate existing plans – this shows that they ARE practical, working documents – we like this! They don’t need to type everything!
SBT Tasks All students will have a Professional Training & Development Handbook For Teaching Phonics and Number. All students HAVE to teach phonics (even if you are in KS2!) They can use their EYFS day visits and focus week to carry out tasks. One is a formal observation of the student teaching phonics. They need to complete all the Year 1 tasks before the end of the block. This includes any relevant tasks from the EAL portfolio (found on BA1 SBT Moodle page).
How are students monitored and assessed? • RoLOs • Focused and regular – at least one a week in addition to the phonics RoLO. • Phonics RoLO separate and specific. There is one of these in the Phonics PT&D Handbook. • SBT Report • Two assessment points: interim and final • Overall assessment: Outstanding-1, Good Pass-2,, Requires Improvement-3 or At Risk of Failure-4. There is clear guidance in the SBT report as to how the overall grade will be determined.
How are students monitored and assessed? • Grading: Students need to: • Use the Grading Criteria • Involve themselves in their assessment • Ask where they are up to. Note evidence on the grading criteria to show at which level they think they are operating at • Discuss what Class Mentor needs to see to demonstrate they are meeting the Standards. • Structure weekly reflections around the grading criteria. • HAVE A REGULAR SLOT WITH THE Class Mentor TO MEET AND REVIEW PROGRESS. Use proforma on Primary Partnership website. • Understand that this is not something that happens to them– THEY ARE PART OF THE PROCESS! • There should be no surprises
Interim Report • Draft report produced by Class Mentor based on meetings with students prior to discuss evidence of progress. • Joint lesson observation (Class Mentor/University tutor). • Review of files: SBT/PDR (Ensure up-to-date). • CM/UT discuss grading criteria and report. • Feedback of lesson to student from CM. Discussion of report grades and targets.
