How many pieces of evidence does my ECT need for each Teachers' Standard?
ECTs will need to meet each bullet point in each Teachers' Standard to pass induction. There is no prescribed number of pieces of evidence or examples needed, but you will need to be assured that your ECT is meeting the Teachers' Standards "consistently and independently". As a minimum, the Hampshire Assure Induction team would expect there to be two or three examples of meeting each bullet point by the end of the final term.
If your ECT is already strongly meeting all the Teachers' Standards by the end of the first or second term, encourage them to demonstrate evidence that exceeds the Standards in the final term.

I have concerns about an ECT, do I wait until their assessment is due to register this concern?
No - check out the 'Guidance - Unsatisfactory progress or concerns' in the 'Resources' section and notify EPS sooner rather than later.
|
I think the assessment date for one of my ECTs is incorrect, what should I do? Should I just wait for the assessment form to become available?
Check the contract details - ensure that these are correct (start of induction date; whether full or part time, and if the latter, that the correct proportion is shown). If they are correct and the date still looks wrong contact the Hampshire Assure team and ask them to double check/amend as necessary

I want to start work on the Formal Assessment for my ECT, but it's not yet available, any suggestions?
Check the format of the assessment form, then start your 'draft' assessment in a word document...add to it as time progresses and when the form becomes available, cut/copy and paste into on-line form (forms generally become available on-line three weeks before due date).
|
I've completed the Formal Assessment, but I can't sign it - it's saying that the form is incomplete.
You need to 'Submit' the form, it will then be accessible by ECT for comments and then for signatures by ECT, Tutor and Headteacher.
|
On assessment form - Number of days completed during assessment period - do we count weekend days or just working days?
Just count the number of school days (so include inset days, but not weekends).
|
What happens if my ECT's contractual hours change - surely this will affect term dates?
Yes, dates will be affected and will need adjusting - please contact the Hampshire Assure Induction team on [email protected] with the dates and hours/fraction and we can ensure the dates are updated and accurate.
