Capturing Evidence What is it? What is it for? How much is enough? How to obtain evidence and secure it? WHO HOLDS IT & HOW? May

The pattern/process of the induction period Each term/period of induction repeats Each half term/period of induction repeats Main components of the process: – 6 lesson observations (minimum) – 6 review meetings (one per half term/period) – Regular mentor meetings – 3 assessment meetings/forms – Lesson observations by you – Professional development targets – Use of the 10% May

Identifying & Evaluating Progress: formal review meetings, twice per induction term/period holistic review practical issues agenda paperwork security difference between 2 nd progress review and assessment used in assessment May

Assessment Takes place after the second review The IT makes judgements as to how and how far you are making progress Marries these judgements with (specific) evidence in drafting the Assessment Form May

Your Part of the Assessment Form The comment box should be seen as part of your self evaluation process. It is a opportunity for you to reflect on your achievement and progress, as well as areas where improvements still need to be made. The comment should: make a statement about the progress you feel you are making; give some evidence to endorse your belief; give some examples of the impact your progress has had on the children you are teaching; explain how the support you have received has helped you make progress; indicate what further support would be welcome in the next period; in the final assessment form, reflect on the whole induction period, and look forward to the next 2-3 years of teaching.
