Prior to each Review you must have undertaken your own self grading against the Standards. You need to have highlighted the Standards for which you have evidence and shaded the corresponding statements on your Standards Continuum . All statements need to be based on your evidence.

You must also have completed the justification sheets for each of the 8 Standards.

You need to spend time with your mentor discussing your self grading, evidence and justifications. Together you agree the grading (Beginning, Developing, Good or Outstanding) for each Standard. Next, together, you enter information into the Review Form regarding areas of strength, based on the discussions that you have had around your self grading, evidence and justifications. Areas for Development MUST be identified in relation to each Standard.

Ensure that comments are entered by your mentor, yourself and your University Link Tutor (ULT) and that the form is signed, electronically.
