Formative assignment – 1000-1200 words, reflection on learning from the first part of the course, in relation to current themes within social work education.  This does not count towards the final grade of the module, but is given an indicative grade and constructive feedback, aimed at easing candidates back into academic study. Summative Assessment is in the form of a portfolio which comprises: A learning agreement between the candidate and their assessor; A final report by the assessor, that the candidate has demonstrated capability against the Practice Educator Professional Standards; Evidence that the candidate has undertaken two direct observations of their work with a social work student on placement; A 1,000 word review of their professional development in working with another learner, at any stage of the social work curriculum (from entry level up to and including ASYE); A 3,000 word assignment demonstrating a critical analysis of challenges faced in undertaking the role of a practice educator in current social work practice.
