Priority Targets
This document should contain yourhigh priority targets - those intended to support you in exceeding the Teachers’ Standards. It is a working document and should be reviewed and added to regularly(i.e. at least weekly during school placements) as you progress through the course. It enables you, your SBM and your UBM to track your progress against these targets very easily. If a target on this Priority Targets form is not met and this leads to a PSP or C4C, the details should then be recorded on the relevant PSP or C4C form in the Action Plans section, and reviewed there as appropriate.
Colour coding – review on a weekly basis. This will help to show which targets are met, which are ongoing, and which are causing concern. No colour = target only just set. Green = target met. Yellow = target ongoing but progress is appropriate. Red = target causing concern; further strategies needed and/or further support given e.g. via PSP or C4C.
(You will also have targets from the Learning and Teaching Module which are recorded on the L&T Action Plan, and those targets do NOT need to be repeated here.)
Source of target(e.g. observation, mentor meeting, informal discussion...) / Date target is set AND date target is to be reviewed / Target and timescale
(Make this SMART. Phrase this clearly and relate it to a specific aspect of a Standard) / Strategies/Actions
(Outline the actions that will lead to successfully meeting the target, by whom, and when these will be carried out) / Achievement Criteria:
How will you know the target will be met. Be specific about what a successful outcome will be. What evidence will you have? / Review
(Comments about progress towards target AND how this is evidenced – e.g. cross reference to source of evidence such as observation, dialogue with pupils)
