How do you as the PM oversee and monitor Student progress? SM Files Monitor quality of target setting, feedback and REGULAR use of progress indicators Observation All Students must be observed formally by their PM at least once during each placement. The observation should be joint (with either SM or UVT) to ensure moderation of outcomes. Formal written feedback and verbal feedback should be given as early as possible and discussed with both Student and SM. Use of agreed lesson observation proforma and Progress Indicator document After the visit the UVT will email a copy of the report of their visit to you. Reviews Milestone assessments No surprises; all involved; communication Formative: opportunity to identify strengths and weaknesses ISP/CFC Procedures MSM-MSG or MSG-MSO procedures at Review 4 MMU PM training 2019-2020

Student Well Being – supporting Students through a demanding and often very stressful course What might cause a Student to struggle on the PGCE programme? How do you know if a Student is struggling? What are the signs? What barriers might prevent a Student from sharing their concerns? How do you overcome these? What strategies can you use to support struggling Students? What advice can you give Students about managing their workload? At what point should you inform the university Personal Tutor? Discuss your ideas in your groups Don’t forget that as a PM you need to ensure your SMs understand how to support Student well-being – consider how you might do this. Ensure you address well-being as part of your Professional Issues programme and make sure the Students are able to share any concerns safely. MMU PM training 2019-2020

On-going Considerations How will you manage your time / workload most effectively? Try to balance time between Students and SM team Read the Handbook and familiarise yourself with it – in particular make yourself aware of timescales and deadlines Use the resources on the Partnership website – podcasts covering lots of procedural information Students making Unsatisfactory Progress – ensure you know the procedures – they need to be followed exactly and it is easier to familiarise yourself with it early on Ensure that you read Partnership Mailings and attend Professional Mentor CPD meetings and Partnership events MMU PM training 2019-2020
