In order to complete the PGCE course successfully and to be awarded Qualified Teacher Status, each trainee is required to show evidence that they have met all the Teachers’ Standards. This Professional Development Profile (PDP) is your record of evidence for meeting these Standards. At the end of the course, each trainee’s personal tutor will consider all the evidence and decide whether to recommend to the PGCE Assessment Sub-Board that the trainee has met all the Standards and should be awarded QTS. Purpose of the Profile The PDP is intended to be used for: identifying strategy and action to be taken; monitoring progress towards the teachers’ standards; checking and recording evidence for meeting teachers’ standards; monitoring progress in subject and ICT knowledge; recording the trainee’s self-assessment of meeting teachers’ standards; recording evidence in lesson observation reports; recording the content of the weekly meetings between mentor and PGCE trainee; recording the content of the meetings between personal tutor and PGCE trainee; recording the content of the meeting between the Studying Policy and Professional Practice tutor and PGCE trainee; recording evidence for teachers’ standards demonstrated in the major written assignments; recording evidence for teachers’ standards demonstrated in any subject assignments; informing the completion of Professional Practice Reports (PPRs) The PDP should include all reports on the trainee’s progress. The trainee is responsible for ensuring the inclusion of each report in the PDP (these include the Professional Practice Report (PPR) tutorials, lesson 3 observations and school visits by personal tutors) and for keeping the PDP up to date. It should be taken to each private meeting with the mentor, Professional Co-ordinating Mentor (PCM) and personal tutor, but should also always be available for themselves, teachers and tutors to consult. The PDP has pages for recording each weekly meeting between mentor and trainee, noting progress made and the agreed targets and actions. It also has pages for recording individual or group tutorials with the personal tutor, and the overall progress and targets set on each of the personal tutor’s two lesson observation visits. Evidence is a crucial component in the assessment of a trainee’s progress and in the final award of the PGCE and recommendation for QTS. At any point in the course, the trainee’s current position as recorded in the PDP is the basis for setting targets and action plans with deadline dates for meeting these. Future assessments are informed by evidence of the meeting (or partial meeting) of the targets and further targets and action plans are discussed and set. Setting SMART Targets When setting targets, you will be more likely to achieve these if you apply the SMART structure. SMART stands for: Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time-constrained There is lots of literature online about how to write SMART targets, for example the advice on this webpage: http://topachievement.com/smart.html. 4 Initial Audits The first thing you need to do is to complete the Previous Experience Audit form. This will provide the initial evidence for identifying some of your first targets. You will also complete a Subject Knowledge audit as part of your subject sessions. Self-assessments There are four copies of a self-assessment form on which you are required to record your own assessment of your progress and new targets in the light of the Teachers’ Standards. You should make sure that you include references in support of the comments you make. On each copy of the form is a date by which it should be handed to your College tutor, or to your school mentor, after which it will be used as the basis for discussion of your progress, during a tutorial, also as a contribution towards the writing of Professional Practice Reports (PPRs). You should make sure that the form is placed in this Portfolio when your College tutor and mentor have been able to add their comments. Mentor Weekly Meeting Record The PDP contains a Mentor and Trainee Weekly Meeting Record page for each week of the course for which the majority of time is spent in school. These should be completed each week, with some parts written before the meeting and others during it, and with both mentor and trainee signing it. It is very important that this ongoing record of progress is available for you to consult to remind you of progress and targets, and for teachers and tutors who are helping you meet these and monitoring your progress. Preparation for mentor meetings: The weekly meeting between you and your mentor is the occasion when the Profile is discussed most. It should form the basis for the agenda at these meetings, although other matters will clearly need to be discussed too. You need to prepare for the meeting by: 1. Selecting issues and Standards from earlier weeks for which you now have evidence, describing this briefly and having the evidence available for the meeting; 5 2. Making sure that summaries of evidence for meeting Standards, gathered during the week, are briefly recorded in the Teachers’ Standards - Evidence Summary, more fully in the Self Assessment and/or the Mentor Meeting Record. Each week you must identify some Standards on which you have made progress; 3. Suggesting some areas for development and action and dates by which they will be completed, by: o Selecting issues that have arisen in lesson observation forms which need addressing immediately; o Thinking of detailed plans for action in your next lesson(s); o Identifying targets that you are likely to be able to meet in the work planned for the next few weeks; o Checking which Standards you have not yet had the opportunity to demonstrate any evidence for meeting, and thinking of suitable opportunities you could ask your mentor about facilitating; 4. Noting any other issues you wish to discuss at the meeting; 5. Writing down how your non-teaching half day has been/will be spent on a school-related activity e.g., ‘visited school X’, ‘marking at school’, ‘at museum Y planning a visit’. Before the meeting, mentors may well have new targets in mind based on: their own observations; discussion with colleagues; checking of lesson observation forms, or, Monitoring of progress by checking the Profile or Professional Practice File. They may wish to write these new targets onto the Weekly Meeting Record at the meeting, or they may prefer you to do so. During mentor meetings: At each meeting you should discuss and record outcomes. This process should involve reviewing progress on earlier matters and on the Teachers’ Standards, and setting future areas for development, strategies and proposed action. The focus of the meetings should be on supporting and recognising your 6 overall progress towards the Standards rather than on a detailed discussion of lessons you have taught. Lesson planning and evaluation details should be discussed on a more regular basis with the class teachers. However, you should draw upon your planning, teaching and assessing in identifying progress and future steps. You may wish to record confidential points on a separate sheet. Your PDP will be an important input for this meeting. Both you and your mentor will need to refer to it regularly to check progress, for example on planning sequences of lessons, planning into lessons questions for assessing pupils’ progress, and evaluating lessons and using this to improve teaching effectiveness. Other evidence will be the lesson evaluation forms completed by teachers, tutors or fellow trainees who have observed your lessons and looked at your plans and pupil assessment. Both you and your mentor may have ideas for action which you wish to discuss and agree at the meeting. You may also make timetabling or curriculum arrangements for these, such as by agreeing topics to teach, teachers to observe, a different class to take for one topic or time to access ICT resources. Each week, you and your mentor should monitor your progress on the Standards by discussing any new evidence you have gathered or your mentor or other teachers have observed. Be sure to check with your mentor that the evidence you are listing is appropriate. A particular aspect of the Standards you should monitor regularly is your knowledge of the National Curriculum and understanding of the subject, informed by your lesson preparation and any subject difficulties you experience. During the meeting, you and your mentor should make decisions about your progress and achievements commenting on this in Section 1. Where this progress represents evidence towards meeting a Standard, you should also note the Standard (a brief description of the relevant part as well as the code is usually clearer for your later reference). At the meeting, points which you agree need addressing, and action you propose to take with dates, should be described. It is important that you identify realistic and specific points of action so that you are clear how to make progress; if in any doubt after a weekly meeting, ensure you discuss and write down clear action points at the following meeting. Professional Coordinating Mentor Meeting Record Your Professional Co-ordinating Mentor (PCM) may wish to monitor your progress on section 8 of the 7 Teachers’ Standards:‘Fulfil Wider Professional Responsibilities’, and arrange meetings for this purpose. Be sure to include outcomes from these meetings in your Mentor and Trainee Weekly Meeting Record for that week. Personal Tutor Meeting Record There are timetabled tutorials for you to meet with your personal tutor, to discuss each of the PPR reports and additional tutorials to discuss your progress on the Standards (one of which is combined with discussion of your SSA assessment). For each tutorial, you or your tutor should record the points discussed and targets set on the Personal Tutor and PGCE Trainee Meeting Record forms or in the ‘Matters arising’ section at the end of the Self-Assessment forms. You may prefer to record confidential issues elsewhere. At the tutorials with your College tutor, the references to Teachers’ Standards in your Profile will form a key part of the discussion, so that your personal tutor can obtain an overview of your progress and set targets. It is important for you to discuss with your personal tutor whether you are claiming too much or too little progress on the Standards as it will take you some time to become aware of the expected demand for meeting each one. At the PPR3 tutorial the PDP will be an important source of evidence to inform your personal tutor’s decision whether to recommend to the Assessment Sub-Board that you have met all of the Teachers’ Standards. Personal Tutor Visits Your personal tutor will normally visit you twice, once in SE1 and once in SE2. On these occasions your PDP should be available so that you can discuss your overall progress. Your tutor can give advice and guidance based on seeing your PDP, lesson, marked pupils’ work, records of pupils’ progress and PDP. You can record the general points discussed and targets set, on the Personal Tutor and PGCE Trainee Meeting Record forms; the lesson-specific comments and targets will be recorded by your tutor on your lesson evaluation forms. 8 Non-Teaching Half Day Each week you are entitled to spend one half-day not teaching or planning, though this time may be spread out through the week rather than taken in one block. Be sure to list how you spend this time in the PDP. Your mentor, PCM and personal tutor will want to see that you have used this appropriately for school-related activities, such as observing at another school, expanding your subject knowledge, or broadening your experience of observations of good subject teaching and assessing in a range of schools. Presentation and Structure You will probably need to create a separate folder to hold the evidence to support your claims in the PDP, as there will be a substantial amount of paperwork by the end of the year. Your Subject Director will explain how they wish you to prepare this. Usually people choose to set out their folders in order of the Teachers’ Standards, hence you would have 8 sections with supporting evidence included behind each. It can be useful to have the Standard printed on the dividers to remind you of what should be in it. The ‘Standards Index’ pages near the front of the folder should be filled in so that for each Standard the type of evidence and its location is noted. It is your responsibility to keep the your PDP and files up to date and to take them to each meeting with your Mentor, Professional Co-ordinating Mentor (PCM) and Personal Tutor. Evidence The evidence for achievement of the Teachers’ Standards can be varied, but will often come from: Lesson preparation (sequence planning, thoughts about topics, discussion of resources, discussion with TAs, technicians, etc.) Lesson evaluations Observations of your lessons by mentors and tutors Pupils’ work and comments made by them PPR1, 2 and 3 Primary school placement Post-16 experience College lectures, taught sessions and seminars 9 INSET and/or professional studies sessions in school Record of mentor meetings and tutorials in PDP file. Note that there is no reason why you cannot ask your mentor to comment on a specific area if you are having difficulty getting evidence. Also, you can ask any teacher to focus on an area for a lesson observation. Subject knowledge audits Other documents that indicate, for example, that you have been involved in parents’ evenings, educational visits or extracurricular activities. The evidence needs to be described sufficiently well and concisely for your Mentor, PCM and Personal Tutor and an External Examiner to understand how it contributes to the Standard without looking at other documents. A reference to a lesson such as ‘year 7, March 3rd’ is insufficient, but a reference to a Lesson Observation report would be sufficient. It is particularly important that, when your SE2 mentor first meets you and read your Profile, they are able to understand the evidence for your progress until then. One piece of evidence can be used to support up to three Standards (for example a lesson observation that references a number of Standards). The easiest way is to photocopy the piece and highlight the area(s) that relate to the specific standard so an External Examiner can easily identify it as evidence. It is also possible to include one copy of the observation form under the most relevant TS and then refer to it under other Standards. It may be that you refer to evidence outside the PDP itself, for example to a scheme of work or collection of resources in your teaching files, that it is not possible to physically include within the PDP itself. This can be done by having a photocopy of the first page and a note written on it. The PDP must include at least the following: A class list and seating plans; Your assessment record of each pupil’s strengths, weaknesses and progress (this requires more than just a table of marks or grades; it must indicate specific knowledge, skills, concepts, errors and misconceptions), any IEPs for your pupils, any comments on pupils; Outline plans for sequences of lessons including links to the National Curriculum, and sections of schemes of work or examination syllabuses you are teaching or team-teaching; 10 Your detailed plan for each lesson including pupils’ learning objectives, and how you will teach and assess these. If possible, a copy of material you used for the lesson (e.g. exercise or passage from a book) and homework, with answers and mark schemes where appropriate; Copies of all assessment you have used, whether school tests or your own diagnostic assessments, with answers and mark schemes; Your evaluation of every lesson including pupils’ achievement of learning objectives and referring to specific instances or pupils, accompanied by suggestions for improvement in future lessons; A few copies of assessed pupils’ work, selected to show your progress in providing constructive focused feedback and targets which you follow up; All written evaluations of your lessons by teachers, tutors and trainees; A record of the work you are doing with your tutor group and in PSHE. This should be in the form of a week-by-week account of tutorial lessons and of issues that arise or incidents that occur. It should also include the plans for any PSHE lessons you give or team-teach along with evaluations of these lessons. The PDP may also include some of the following: Notes of lessons you observe; Materials and ideas for activities which you did not use; Records or minutes of meetings you attend e.g. department, year; A record of the further professional responsibilities you undertake or participate in along with some comment on your role and your effectiveness in that role; A record of extra-curricular activities you have been involved in; Further samples of pupils’ work. It is a good idea to keep a separate file containing: School prospectus Staff handbook Departmental handbook School policies Departmental schemes of work 11 Syllabuses and papers for tests and examinations Evidence from Assignments The two major written assignments on the PGCE course, the SSA and SER, have self-assessment forms on which you can make a claim to have provided evidence for meeting each of the listed Standards, by completion of aspects of the assignment. You should describe that evidence on the form. The marker of your work will review these and sign off on those they agree you have evidenced within the assignment. The supported evidence should be referred to on Profile pages, for example by just writing ‘SSA’ in each appropriate cell and placing a copy of the Standards-related page of the SSA assessment sheet into the back of the PDP. If your subject assignments have an assessment sheet indicating evidence you have demonstrated, treat these in the same way as the major written assignments, for example by writing ‘English assignment 3’ in the relevant cell(s) and placing the assessment sheet into the back of the Profile. Otherwise write the evidence into the cell, for example ‘selected CD-ROM extracts for English assignment 3’. PDP Submission You will be required to submit your PDP and teaching files at the end of the course in order that your Personal Tutor and Subject Director can confirm that you have met all of the Teachers’ Standards. Most subjects will require you to submit your files on the Tutorial 6/File Submission date, Friday 3rd June 2016. However some subjects may have a different deadline and you will be notified of this if so. You may also be asked to make final changes to your files after this point, as all teaching files will be secondarily reviewed by our External Examiners on the Assessment Board date, Thursday 13th June. Please ensure you collect your files from your Subject Director at the end of the course, as limited storage capacity means that we cannot keep these at the College. 12 Teacher’s Standards Teachers make the education of their pupils their first concern, and are accountable for achieving the highest possible standards in work and conduct. Teachers act with honesty and integrity; have strong subject knowledge, keep their knowledge and skills as teachers up-to-date and are self-critical; forge positive professional relationships; and work with parents in the best interests of their pupils. PART ONE: TEACHING A teacher must: 1. Set high expectations which inspire, motivate and challenge pupils 2. establish a safe and stimulating environment for pupils, rooted in mutual respect set goals that stretch and challenge pupils of all backgrounds, abilities and dispositions demonstrate consistently the positive attitudes, values and behaviour which are expected of pupils. Promote good progress and outcomes by pupils 3. be accountable for pupils’ attainment, progress and outcomes plan teaching to build on pupils' capabilities and prior knowledge guide pupils to reflect on the progress they have made and their emerging needs demonstrate knowledge and understanding of how pupils learn and how this impacts on teaching encourage pupils to take a responsible and conscientious attitude to their own work and study. Demonstrate good subject and curriculum knowledge 4. have a secure knowledge of the relevant subject(s) and curriculum areas, foster and maintain pupils’ interest in the subject, and address misunderstandings demonstrate a critical understanding of developments in the subject and curriculum areas, and promote the value of scholarship demonstrate an understanding of and take responsibility for promoting high standards of literacy, articulacy and the correct use of standard English, whatever the teacher’s specialist subject if teaching early reading, demonstrate a clear understanding of systematic synthetic phonics if teaching early mathematics, demonstrate a clear understanding of appropriate teaching strategies.

Adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all pupils 6. know when and how to differentiate appropriately, using approaches which enable pupils to be taught effectively have a secure understanding of how a range of factors can inhibit pupils’ ability to learn, and how best to overcome these demonstrate an awareness of the physical, social and intellectual development of children, and know how to adapt teaching to support pupils’ education at different stages of development have a clear understanding of the needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs; those of high ability; those with English as an additional language; those with disabilities; and be able to use and evaluate distinctive teaching approaches to engage and support them. Make accurate and productive use of assessment 7. know and understand how to assess the relevant subject and curriculum areas, including statutory assessment requirements make use of formative and summative assessment to secure pupils’ progress use relevant data to monitor progress, set targets, and plan subsequent lessons give pupils regular feedback, both orally and through accurate marking, and encourage pupils to respond to the feedback. Manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment 8. have clear rules and routines for behaviour in classrooms, and take responsibility for promoting good and courteous behaviour both in classrooms and around the school, in accordance with the school’s behaviour policy have high expectations of behaviour, and establish a framework for discipline with a range of strategies, using praise, sanctions and rewards consistently and fairly manage classes effectively, using approaches which are appropriate to pupils’ needs in order to involve and motivate them maintain good relationships with pupils, exercise appropriate authority, and act decisively when necessary. Fulfil wider professional responsibilities make a positive contribution to the wider life and ethos of the school 14 develop effective professional relationships with colleagues, knowing how and when to draw on advice and specialist support deploy support staff effectively take responsibility for improving teaching through appropriate professional development, responding to advice and feedback from colleagues communicate effectively with parents with regard to pupils’ achievements and well-being. PART TWO: PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT A teacher is expected to demonstrate consistently high standards of personal and professional conduct. The following statements define the behaviour and attitudes which set the required standard for conduct throughout a teacher’s career. Teachers uphold public trust in the profession and maintain high standards of ethics and behaviour, within and outside school, by: o treating pupils with dignity, building relationships rooted in mutual respect, and at all times observing proper boundaries appropriate to a teacher’s professional position o having regard for the need to safeguard pupils’ well-being, in accordance with statutory provisions o showing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others not undermining fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs o ensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupils’ vulnerability or might lead them to break the law. Teachers must have proper and professional regard for the ethos, policies and practices of the school in which they teach, and maintain high standards in their own attendance and punctuality. Teachers must have an understanding of, and always act within, the statutory frameworks which set out their professional duties and responsibilities. 15 Grade Descriptors for Professional Practice Reports (PPR) The descriptors here are provided as a support to mentors when assessing the overall performance of trainees at PPR2 and PPR3, and are also intended to support trainees in self-assessment and can be used in the setting of targets for improvement. They describe aspects of trainee teachers who are fulfilling the Teachers’ Standards at a level beyond the minimum level required to attain a pass on the programme. Mentors are asked to use a ‘best fit’ model when reaching a final judgement. Standard Trainees meeting the Standards at a higher level Trainees meeting Standards beyond the minimum level Trainees meeting Standards at the minimum level TS1 – Setting high expectations Planning and teaching clearly takes account of the needs of the full range of individuals and different groups within classes, regularly setting high expectations for learners, and showing some creativity and originality.
