Introduction
Reflect ships with many built-in forms. These can be used straight away or can be customised to make your own versions.
Remember that reports, created when these forms are filled in, can be sent to individuals (such as tutors, mentors or administrators) for signing and approval. These people can be specified within the form itself, or at time of submission or completion.
Lesson Observation
A lesson observation form is commonly used to record the observation of a lesson. This one includes the UK Teachers’ Standard scale to allow areas of strength and weakness to be recorded against individual standards.
It includes the following:
- Details of the lesson observed (teacher, date, time group and subject)
- Areas of strength and weakness, correlated against Teachers’ Standards
- Targets that are set as a result of the observation
- An overall judgement (using Ofsted grades) and further comments
Progress Report
A progress report, recording progress against various skills, including the following:
- Assessment Period (from date to date)
- Details of assessment target, group and subject
- Sliders allowing numeric, percentage and graded decisions
- An overall judgement (‘Excellent’ through to ‘Poor’) and further comments
Teacher Grading
Ideal for ITT and/or NQT assessment, this form records judgements between ‘A: Excellent’ and ‘E: Weak’ for all UK Teachers’ Standards.
- Assessment Details: Who is being assessed, and when
- Progress checks allow indications of whether the person being evaluated is on-track to meet expectations
- Individually graded judgements against Teachers’ Standards (and sub-standards)
- An overall judgement and further comments
Teachers’ Reflective Report
This is designed to be a self-assessment form for Teachers undertaking initial training, NQT supervision or their professional development review.
- Details of the period being reported on, mentor and any absences (in the case of ITT, to ensure course requirements are being met)
- Aggregation of evidence (from files, Google Drive, the web etc) to show how the individual Teachers’ Standard are being met
- An overall judgement (between ‘A: Excellent’ and ‘E: Weak’) and further comments
- Logging of targets for the next period, as well as types of material which might be used to evidence that targets have been met
Volunteering Report
The volunteering form allows for logging of hours of voluntary work undertaken within a given period (date span). It includes;
- Details of who has undertaken the volunteering and the group (class) to which they belong
- When the volunteering was conducted, and the number of hours undertaken on individual dates - together with details of this work
- Evidence can also be added from files or Google Drive to support this
- An overall assessment of how the period of volunteering work went (between ‘Wonderful’ and ‘Poor’) and any further comments
