Professional Graduate Certificate in Education: Education and Training
Criteria to support the holistic assessment of teaching against the Professional Standards
These descriptors are based on The Professional Standards for Teachers and trainers in Education and Training-England (2014).
The descriptors will be used to:
-
support tutorials and meetings with mentors by providing benchmarks against which current levels of achievement can be agreed and future targets for improvement can be set
-
support trainee self-assessment and reflection by helping them to identify their own strengths and areas for development
-
formally assess the quality of a trainee’s teaching against the Professional Standards at defined points throughout the course (all judgements should be made on a best fit basis, using a range of evidence, including input from mentors and placement providers).
You will be graded at three points during your programme against these criteria (initial, mid-point and end-point assessments of your teaching practice).
You should refer frequently to these criteria and your progress against them should form the basis of tutorials.
You should use the criteria to self-assess your progress at key points throughout the programme. To do this you should highlight on the grid above in three different colours:
