Use the halfway assessment form to guide discussion of learning outcomes – consider all outcomes and summarise progress in each Identify areas for development within each outcome Identify strengths within each outcome Highlight areas where there is agreement and possible disagreement regarding the level reached within each outcome Complete the halfway assessment form – indicating half way progression (this will be updated and completed at completion of placement) During the tutorial: Allow enough time for the academic tutor to have an individual private meeting with the student and where necessary, with the placement educator about the placement experience. Establish how the student is performing, from the perspective of educator and student – using the completed halfway assessment form. By focusing on the outcomes, a pattern of strengths & weaknesses may emerge and for development may be evident. If there are areas that are less developed, consider why and establish if the student has learning opportunities available to achieve the specific learning outcome. Use the outcomes to establish specific objectives that will allow for further development in the next part of the placement. There should be a discussion with student, educator & academic regarding the agreed progression. This can be documented within the half way assessment form. The student should keep a copy of this to refer to during the latter part of placement. The academic will file a copy of this in the student’s placement file at university. After the tutorial: It should be transparent after the tutorial what is required for the student to continue progressing/developing. Weekly objectives will help to guide the areas requiring further development.
