Issue 3 2017
Welcome to the Leeds SCITT Newsletter
Welcome to the Leeds SCITT Newsletter. Our aim is to share good practice across our Partnership, keeping all interested parties up to speed with key information and share tips on how to become outstanding trainee teachers. This is your newsletter, so please feel free to email and share your experiences of how you or your colleagues have used innovative strategies/resources which have contributed to pupils making excellent progress.
Helpful reminders and points to consider!
This week…
- Your priority this week I am sure, will be to complete your evidence portfolios for the final meeting with your mentor and link tutor; in preparation for the hand in date on 3rd February 2017. I have taken the assessment section from the Stage two/three handbook, which may help you, in 'ticking off' the sections as you complete them. Here is the link for this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o84s8cqnxxxipu9/Stage%20two%20assessment.pdf?dl=0
- Please arrive at LTU with your evidence portfolio on 3rd February for a prompt 8.45 am start (in AS2). Day programme to follow, but anticipate being at LTU, until 4pm.
Finally please remember before the 3rd February, to:
1. Complete the submission sheet
2. Upload your SK Tracker to Moodle in the upload area
3. Upload your reflective journal (Michelle will add an area in Moodle for those trainees who are struggling with OneDrive).
The Teachers' Standards may be a good place to help you and your Mentor in writing focused targets
