Self Appraisal: Where you tutor more than one workshop or course, please be specific (if you can) about which type of
tutoring the feedback relates to.
1. Over the past year, what tutoring have you done? (If you are a Course 4 trainee who has successfully run your play
workshop this year, you are now on our list of valuable tutors.)
2. What aspects of this did you enjoy and/or feel were successful?
3. What aspects do you need help with?
4. What additional resources would assist you in your tutoring role?
5. Please see the copy of the tutor’s job description. Are there any issues related to this or other aspects of your work
you would like to discuss?
Professional Development: Playcentre has an agreement with NZQA that our tutors will undertake at least 6 hours of
professional development each year.
6. What professional development have you done over the last 12 months, that relates to your tutoring (include approx.
hrs). PD could include, for example, further Playcentre course/workshop training, external training courses relevant to
children or tutoring. For further examples, please refer to pages 22-23 of your Tutors’ Kit.
7. What professional development opportunities would you like the Education Team to offer tutors during the next year
and in what format (e.g., week day evening/weekend, whole day/2 hr etc)? For example, would you be interested in:
networking with other tutors in the same area; learning more about adult learning styles; update on relevant research or
publications e.g. Kei Tua o te Pae; support for tutor practices and techniques such as time management and giving
feedback; or other issues?
