Secondary PGCE/ School Direct – Standards Tracker 2017 - 18

Teachers’ Standards (DfE, 2011)

PREAMBLETeachers 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.

Guidance on completing the Standards Tracker:

University tutors and school-based mentors will check your Standards Tracker regularly. Please ensure your most up-to-date version is uploaded to your PDP and your tutor has access. The Standards Tracker is a working document and will evidence your progress over the training year. The grading statements can be annotated or highlighted when good or better quality evidence is identified. This will enable you to track

your progress at interim points during the year. Supporting evidence should be described briefly – What is the evidence? Where has if come from? Where can it be found? Ensure you evidence Part 2 of the Teachers’ Standards, as well as TS 1-8. The link between a Teachers’ Standard and evidence should be clear. Your Standards Tracker and PDP link together to record your developing progress against the Teachers’ Standards.

Guidance for the Teachers’ Standards 2012

The following guidance is intended to assist you in using the new Teacher’s Standards 2012. It is derived from the London Providers Guidance Document.

The decision about whether a Standard has been met or what a Trainee Teacher needs to do to develop areas of the Standards is a professional decision between the Trainee Teacher and the School Mentor and University Tutors. There are two elements to this guidance:(1) There are areas for discussion, which are phrased as questions to Trainee Teachers. These are intended to illustrate the scope of each Standard and the kinds of conversations that might link to each Standard. (2) There are also examples of evidence which are given to support the Trainee when they are selecting evidence to demonstrate their achievement of each Standard.

Links to other Standards are highlighted in the text

It is important to remember that the advice about evidence includes suggestions. It is not intended that each of the examples be met to achieve the Standard.

5. Adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all pupilsComponents Areas for discussion Evidence for this Standard may be found in:- know when and how to differentiate appropriately, using approaches which enable pupils to be taught effectivelyhave a secure understanding of how a range of factors can inhibit pupils’ ability to learn, and how best to overcome these 1 (challenge) 2 (promote progress)

6. Make accurate and productive use of assessmentComponents Areas for discussion Evidence for this Standard may be found in:- know and understand how to assess the relevant subject and curriculum areas, including statutory assessment requirements 3 (understand curriculum)

- make use of formative and summative assessment to secure pupils’ progress

- use relevant data to monitor progress, set targets, and plan subsequent lessons 2 (build on prior knowledge) 5 (adapt teaching)

- give pupils regular feedback, both orally and through accurate marking, and encourage pupils to respond to the feedback.

- Do you understand the statutory assessment requirements in your phase / subject / context?- How do you use assessment guidance / frameworks / specifications to help you in your planning?

Can you justify why specific strategies are being used?- How do you use assessment to form a view of pupils’ learning? How do you use this information within lessons and to review plans between lessons?- Do you build in opportunities for peer and self assessment? Do you enable pupils to effectively reflect on learning and progress? How do you ensure pupils know what success looks like?- Can you make use of appropriate support to set appropriate targets and monitor progress?

Planning documents- Assess prior knowledge to inform planning of a new topic- Plans for use of summative assessment e.g. written assessment, use of past SAT questions, tests- Plans to use appropriate AfL strategies e.g. traffic lights, whiteboards, open and closed questions, peer and self assessment, concept maps

Reflective Documents- Data is critically evaluated and informs reflections- Awareness of how the school uses statistical information and how this relates to the national picture

Can you explain how teachers planning and teaching incorporate specific policy commitments, e.g. in relation to EAL, SEN, literacy, behaviour and promoting good relations between groups?

Much of the evidence for personal and professional conduct will be found in other sections. Areas specific to this section may be exemplified in the following ways:

- When interacting with children the trainee shows sensitivity to social background, ethnicity and religious beliefs. This may be evident in trainee evaluations or lesson observations.- Know who the named child protection person is within the school and follow policy relating to child protection (which for Trainee Teachers is to inform the mentor and PCM)- Know which of your own personal beliefs may be sensitive and plan ways to respond to pupils if they arise within school situations- Notifies relevant member of staff relating to academic and pastoral matters e.g. usual class teacher and form tutor for an emotionally distressed pupil- Deadlines for assignments and for professional agreements are kept e.g. completion of university modules and marking of pupils’ work relating to school placements- Register classes and code absences- Know who to contact when issues arise e.g. Child protection, safety and well being- Talk with support staff and pastoral staff about the needs of pupils- Meet with SENCO to ensure understanding of schools’ approach to SEN and disability- Awareness of cyber bullying and prevention schemes- Awareness of fire procedures, health and safety measures,
