Hassle-free organisation of evidence towards teacher’s standards Automatically updates overall progress Collates activities into a visual tracker to identify strengths and areas to improve This resource is an easy to use filing system where teachers can record all their evidence of meeting the DfE’s teacher’s standards. Once teachers make a note of the standards they have achieved for each activity, the totals are automatically tallied. It takes all the hassle out of recording your evidence by keeping everything in one file and using separate tabs for each type of activity you did to achieve the standards. Instructions Record the name of the activity in the correct worksheet (tab) Identify which standards you have achieved by typing a 1 in the corresponding cell Check the front worksheet to see your totals change as you go. When you have achieved 5 pieces of evidence towards a specific standard, the cell will automatically turn green. (5 is the suggested total used in many training schools - especially for trainee teachers) When you notice you haven’t achieved enough specific standards, you can go to the worksheet and record a strategy to help you think of new activities. If you would like some fresh ideas about activities or methods of achieving more standards, please get in touch and we can explore the avenues open to you. Thank you for taking the time to read this information - and if you decide to use my resource(s), I double thank you - I hope they prove useful to you and your colleagues.
