During these meeting progress is discussed and targets agreed with the student. In addition, the tutor makes one visit to observe a lesson/s and discuss progress with both the student and their mentor/teachers.
An interim report is completed and shared with the student and university and subsequently frames the final part of the placement experience. if any concerns arise after this further tutor visits are arranged and possible moderations. The final report is compiled by the key mentor on the basis of their ongoing observations and discussions with colleagues and tutor. |
