    Assessing Professional Practice We place great faith in the Mentor and the Nominated Supervisor’s professional judgement and request an honest validation of the Pre-service Teacher’s progress and final assessment. Considering the level expected for the particular professional experience, Mentor teachers and the Nominated Supervisors are asked to make a professional judgement and assess the overall performance of the Pre-service Teacher.

    Level Achieved against each Graduate Standard

    For each of the Graduate standards, Pre-service Teachers will be assessed as

    0 Not demonstrated the student has not demonstrated the professional standard at a relevant level. If a

    Pre-service Teacher is awarded a 0 for any of the standards they must receive an UNSATISFACTORY

    overall result.

    1 Demonstrated occasionally the student has been able to demonstrate the professional standard at a

    relevant level, albeit occasionally. It is accepted that Pre-service Teachers enrolled in EDU10001,

    EDU20006 and EDU60008 may mostly reflect this level in their Interim and final assessments.

    2 Demonstrated regularly the student has demonstrated the professional standard regularly during their

    professional experience. It is accepted that Pre-service Teachers enrolled in EDU30003, EDU30015 and

    EDU70003 may mostly reflect this level in their Interim and final assessments.

    3 Demonstrated consistently the student has consistently demonstrated the Professional standard

    throughout their professional experience. It is accepted that Pre-service Teachers enrolled in EDU40005, EDU40006, EDU400012 and EDU80005 may mostly reflect this level in their Interim and final assessments

    Overall Performance

    Satisfactory. A teaching performance that is satisfactory in assuming the professional responsibilities of a

    graduating teacher for this stage of practice. The Pre-service Teacher has not received a 0 for any of the

    assessed Standards.

    Unsatisfactory. A teaching performance that is not satisfactory in assuming the professional responsibilities

    of a graduating teacher for this stage of practice. The Pre-service Teacher has received a 0 for any of the

    assessed Standards and/or is deemed by the Mentor and the Nominated Supervisor to be not achieving the

    required level for the stage of practice.

    Not completed. Teaching performance has not yet reached a satisfactory level for this stage due to

    exceptional circumstances and will be dealt with on a case to case basis. (For examples of ‘Result Deferred’

    refer to the practicum handbook).
