Other Experiences still to be targeted (including EAL, SEN, Diversity)

Extending Teaching and Learning leading to Qualifying to Teach, where the trainee teacher is on their final work-related placement, working towards extending competence in order to achieve qualified teacher status. The attachment focuses on ALL the standards but there is an increased expectation placed on those concerned with monitoring and assessment. During this placement the trainees will be assessed against each one of the standards. In order to enable them to do this it is expected that tutors should comment on whether they demonstrate competence based on the LJMU ITT Tracker Grade Descriptors.

Indicate a Judgement of the Trainee’s competence in meeting the standards for QTS at the FINAL stage of the placement based on the LJMU ITT Tracker Grade Descriptors and the trainee’s evidence. Select ONE Grade only.

Grade 1 / Grade 2 / Grade 3 / Grade 4

To check the box –double click (left) the square then ensure “default value” = checked. OK

The Final Placement Grade is extremely important and will be used to determine the Final Attainment Grade following Triangulation, based on the overall profile of the Trainee on completion of their training programme. A draft version of this form should be available at the triangulation meeting. Please see the following page for further grading guidance.

If the Trainee is a Grade 4 (Inadequate) please indicate clearly the reasoning/evidence behind this decision.
Has the Trainee been placed ‘on an intervention action plan’ and been provided with clear targets to support their progress? / YES / NO
Triangulation Date:

It is important to ensure consistency in determining the final graded awarded. The following guidance has been extracted from the OFSTED framework for the inspection of Initial Teacher Education. Please note that those involved in ITE are expected to take into account a “reasonable expectation” of attainment prior to the award of QTS when making judgements in respect of the school-based practice of trainee teachers. Those involved should be guided by the benchmarks established in the LJMU ITT Tracker grade descriptors.

Grade 1 / Taking into account the “reasonable expectation” of trainees, Grade 1 requires that:
  • Trainees demonstrate excellentpractice in the majority of the standards for teaching and all related to their personal and professional conduct.
  • Much of the quality of trainees’ teaching over time is outstanding and never less than consistently good.[i]

Grade 2 / Taking into account the “reasonable expectation” of trainees, Grade 2 requires that:
  • Trainees demonstrate excellent practice in someof the standards for teaching and all related to their personal and professional conduct.
  • Much of the quality of trainees’ teaching over time is good; some is outstanding.[ii]

Grade 3 / Taking into account the “reasonable expectation” of trainees,Grade 3 indicates that:
  • The quality of trainees’ teaching over time requires improvement as it is does not yet meet the expectations for good.[iii]

Grade 4 /
  • Trainees awarded QTS fail to meet the minimum level of practiceexpected of teachers as defined in the Teachers’ Standards by the end of their training.
  • The quality of trainees’ teaching over time is weak such that it contributes to pupils/learners or groups of pupils/learners making inadequate progress.[iv]

Please identify a grade for each Standard. NB: Please refer to the LJMU ITT Tracker Grade Descriptors and trainee evidence when deciding the grade. Only select ONE grade. The grades given should match the expectations of the overall grade identified on pages 1 and 2.
