Annexure 4: Spur Kiddies & Kiddies Service: Practical Assessment Sheet

How to complete a practical assessment:

ð  Once the training has been completed, the group needs to practice their newly learnt knowledge & skills.

ð  It is imperative that you, the trainer, allow the trainee to put their theory into practice.

ð  Please practically assess each ‘manager”, while they are completing their daily tasks. You need to OBSERVE their actions, under normal working conditions, in order to assess them.

ð  Each manager is to be assessed against the provided assessment sheet, which is to be completed by the trainer / assessor. NB: While assessing the manager, compare their practices with the standards outlined in this manual / video.

ð  Please ensure that you detail all the actions of the manager, indicating whether they are complying with our standards or not, by making written notes on the Assessment Sheet.

ð  The Assessment Sheet must be forwarded to your training department, with the Written Tests & completed Tracking Sheet in order for the trainee to receive a certificate.

NB:

Do not forget to give feedback to the Trainee on their performance, when you have completed the assessment.

WHEN GIVING FEEDBACK TO THE TRAINEE: PRAISE THEM FOR PRACTICES THAT WERE CORRECT BY EXPLAINING IN DETAIL ALL THE TECHNIQUES THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO PRACTISE. WHEN CORRECTING THEIR MISTAKES, DO NOT FOCUS ON WHAT WAS WRONG, BUT RATHER, ON HOW TO IMPROVE THEIR PERFORMANCE – SO THAT THEY CAN OPERATE ACCORDING TO THE SPUR STANDARDS.

It is important that you instil good habits in the TRAINEES to ensure that their mistakes are rectified A.S.A.P. and not repeated.
