The Development RecordThe Development Record is designed to record the ongoing dialogue between you and your Mentor. It also provides evidence of the impact of your teaching on pupils’ progress and helps your Mentor to get a picture of your development across your placement. It provides a structure for systematic reflection upon the impact of your teaching on pupil progress from school observations, learning conversations, university-level input, and how these come together in the classroom. The Development Record supports your ability to:

recognise the links between programme content and school practice; record your professional development over time; and provide evidence for the award of QTS.

The Development Cycle.A weekly cycle of target setting, action, evaluation and re-setting should be obvious from your paperwork. Make sure that each week’s Development Record:

begins with an evaluation of your progress against your targets and the Teachers’ Standards and contains an evaluation of your pupils’ progress;

contains the targets you have agreed with your Mentor, as well as the actions you have agreed to meet these. Guidance is provided to ensure these targets are appropriate, developmental and precise;

In your other documents you should be able to show that

your targets are written on and used in your Observation Records; and

the influence of your targets can be seen in your Lesson Plans and Sequence Planners; and

your Subject Knowledge Audit is being updated regularly and shared with you Mentor and Subject Tutor to reflect your development over the course.

PLT21 and SKAP training frameworkA list of PLT21 and SKAP focus points can be found in the appropriate appendix of the Handbook. You and your Mentor should agree a focus a week in advance to give you time to work on the area before the next mentor meeting.

Each agenda item needs to be covered at least once over the course of the placement. However, you and your Mentor can decide together when these items will best be covered depending on the your needs and those of the school.

Example Targets & ActionsRemember effective targets should:

Focus on things you can improve in order to help your pupils learn specific things. Be related to at least one TS, the ones you need to develop. Be obvious in your planning of teaching for the week. Be specified on your observation form in lessons where you are being observed.

To identify key points in the lesson and clearly emphasise these to ensure that pupils can progress.To identify the essential knowledge for your sequence of lessons on [ ] and ensure this is embedded thoroughly in the sequence of learning.To help pupils to progress in their understanding of, and ability to [ ].To improve transitions within the lesson (in terms of clarity, pace and motivation) by making more frequent references to the overarching enquiry for the lesson sequence.Plan for and evaluate how iPads might be used to support progression in [ ] .To monitor and assess pupils progress by investigating their ability to [ ].To encourage all pupils to make contributions to whole class discussions, especially those who are unwilling to speak. Give appropriate and subject specific feedback to such responses.To develop and put into practice strategies to help pupils grasp key concepts for the unit on [ ].To establish eye-contact with more individual pupils during whole-class teaching, using this to monitor motivation, concentration and engagement.To support pupils in better understanding [ ] by developing an engaging lesson with contrasting approaches to describing progression in this concept.To use questioning in lessons effectively to ensure progress by using pupils’ answers to extend other pupils’ thinking.To structure extended writing tasks, taking into account specific needs, to ensure that all students are able to sustain focus and effort and therefore progress in their [ ] understanding. To analyse SEN students’ difficulties with writing and to choose and evaluate evidence-based approaches targeted at those difficulties.To research and develop effective methods of peer assessment which will allow all students to identify some future steps for their learning. Ensure good progress with [ ] by reading/observing [ ] with a focus on teaching [ ], applying and evaluating these approaches in the classroom.

ActionsSetting actions is just as important as having good targets. The best actions will involve you in some level of research into your area. The following is helpful as a basic flow and an example is given below.

a) Research action(s) – specific reading / specific observation / discussions with particular peopleb) Application action(s) – something done on the back of researchc) Evaluation action(s) – checking the success of the target – linked to a specific outcome.

Target ActionsDevelop an understanding of barriers to learning for EAL students in learning about evolution in 9Y1, and develop a plan to overcome some of these. (TS4, TS5, TS8)

Use Borgen’s “Differentiation for EAL” and classroom observations in placement school to identify a range of differentiation strategies.

Discuss approaches with mentor and develop an intervention for the first two lessons on evolution based on the above.

Evaluate the effectiveness of strategies by considering the impact on EAL students’ understanding of core concepts for the lessons.

Summary of Key Points for Weekly Presentation of Pupil ProgressThis should be focused on the progress made by pupils you have taught. This could be: a focus on the learning

of a single class over several lessons/weeks;

a case study of one pupil, groups of pupils and their learning over one or more lessons;

a case study of a particular concept that pupils are learning in different classes.

Strengths in Your Teaching & ImpactDescribe the main strengths in your teaching from your observations this week. How do these impact on pupils’ progress?
