22. Differential Assessment Cert Ed PGCE Year One HE 1 (NQF 4) HE 3 (NQF 6) Year Two HE 2 (NQF 5) HE 3 (NQF 6)

23. Differential Assessment Academically, practically all qualifications in the UK can be located on the scale of the National Qualifications Framework (it’s currently changing its name for some reason, but without practical consequences). HE1/NQF4/QCF4 is equivalent to first-year undergraduate study, HE3/NQF6/ QCF6 to 3 rd /final year—you get the picture? Cert Ed PGCE Year One HE 1 (NQF 4) HE 3 (NQF 6) Year Two HE 2 (NQF 5) HE 3 (NQF 6)

24. Differential Assessment These are the levels the various stages of the programme have to hit. We manage it by specifying additional outcomes for the higher PGCE levels—but there are also ways to move up and down the levels.

33. Scheduling At least one before Christmas Here’s a notional and vague indication of how observations might be distributed across the course. In one way or another, you will be observing or being observed around once every three weeks (and that’s apart from any employer-initiated stuff). But it is all in a spirit of constructive feedback and encouragement!
