Assessment

There will be two core elements to the assessment:

Part A - Critical analysis of how you have approached teaching and learning in your subject.

Part B - Critical exploration of your experiences which leads to a personal theory of teaching and learning.

Part A - Critical analysis of how you have approached teaching and learning in your subject

This section will be based around a subject specific task - e.g. Scheme of Work, curriculum plan, exploring misconceptions.

Having carried out your subject development above, you will provide a critical commentary about your experiences.

You should explain the thinking behind your approach. You should draw upon theoretical concepts in education literature - both generic and subject specific - to support your discussion.

In your analysis you need to include the following:
• your rationale for the pedagogical approach you took;
• a synthesis of arguments drawn from learning theories and evaluation of your teaching and learning experiences to date;
• the choices you made to, for example:
• address the different needs of pupils;
• assess learning and understanding;
• plan for progression;
• plan for challenges and misconceptions.
• an analysis of what happened when you put ideas into practice;
• potential developments for the future.

You will be assessed against the following criteria:

• evidence of your understanding of how children learn in the subject area;
• attempts to synthesise arguments drawn from learning theory and classroom practice;
• appropriate use of professional literature, including: evidence of relevant reading (well-integrated); proper referencing and use of quotations;
• evidence of personal reflection and professional learning;
• confident use of technical aspects of writing and presenting, including: clear, logical structure; fluent style in correct register; accurate presentation (grammar, spelling, punctuation);
• relevant appendices, examples of pupil's work, copies of relevant lesson plans, resources.
