This includes evidence of progress made towards the Key Teaching Tasks and the Culminating Integrative Assessment (CIA), which is linked the Standards. The e-portfolio will demonstrate this through student reflections, goal setting an artefacts of student practice. This could include photos, videos, mentor teacher reports etc.
  • Professional experience documentation that demonstrates a satisfactory level of teaching practice based on Our Code, Our Standards and the Key Teaching Tasks as evidenced in the student's e-portfolio, the evaluative lecturer and mentor teacher reports.

  • Identify how teaching-focused scenarios align to the Professional Code and Standards
  • Communicate how thinking and practice has developed throughout the programme to demonstrate readiness for the profession.

This will include evidence on the portfolio, a presentation, self-assessment and peer-assessment as per the CIA rubric. The rubric is designed to demonstrate progress to proficiency in all of the eight signposts. These signposts are:
