Assessment Strategy

The assessment strategy is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge skills and understanding of teaching. In order to do this they must complete four observed teaching practice assessments and complete a reflective teaching portfolio, (word count 3,500 words).

 

Formative assessment and feedback

Students will receive formative feedback via:


  • Written reports on their observed teaching assessment; which the reflective accounts will be based upon

  • Verbal discussion during contact time

  • Timely response to email or telephone questions



 

Thus, the summative assessment for this module consists of:

 

Reflective Teaching Portfolio - (3500 words):

The teaching portfolio will incorporate the following:



  • Resources and reflective accounts from the four teaching practice assessments within Part 1 of the assignment. The reflective accounts will be based on the areas for development that have been identified within the assessment report.


  • Evidence will be required from a further four teaching practice sessions



Evidence of formal contact teaching hours in line with professional body requirements.

Module aims

  • Provide students with the opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of the complexities of learning and teaching, assessment and evaluation in order to review critically and enhance their expertise in these areas of professional practice.

Scenarios

Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
