Teachers’ Standards (2012)

• The Standards that the Year 1 students will be working with are:– 1 a, c– 2 b, d– 3 a, c, d, e– 4 a, b, d– 5 a, c– 6 d– 7 a, b, c, d– 8 a, b, e

Students must:•Remember to gather evidence to demonstrate that they are engaging with the Standards.•Students are now compiling a portfolio of evidence of how they are engaging with each Standard. This goes beyond, but can also include, evidence from Record of Lesson Observations (RoLO) and/or Interim and Final Reports.•Students have received guidance on some examples of how they might provide examples for their PDR portfolio.

Guidance given to students in their first SBT briefing on Professional Values and Practice:

• Make a good first impression• Have high standards of dress and conduct. You want

to be seen as a professional so act, dress and speak like one.

• Arrive at school by 8.15 and expect to stay behind after school

• Inform the school, university and your tutor of any absence as early as possible (definitely before 8.30am) and preferably before the day.

• Work as part of a team

Guidance given to students about how they can get involved

Be involved in playground duty and assemblies Be involved in INSET days and staff meetings (where

appropriate) Study school policy documents Shadow the class teacher talking to parents/carers Attend a parents’ consultation when acceptable to the Head Experience a visitor to the class or a class outing Be involved in a lunch time or after school club and school

functions

• The decision is a joint one made between the school mentor and the university tutor

• This decision is made from evidence against the standards using the grading criteria.

• Examples of where this evidence is found is through RoLOs, teacher comments, planning, evaluations, weekly reflections and notes in the SBT file
