  4. Part One - At Halfway Evaluation

By the end of your halfway evaluation discussion it is important that your student has a clear understanding of what they can do to further improve. Consider, "Where to from here?" at several points in your conversation. The following ideas may be helpful:

  • Refer back to the associated learning objective for each domain. Summarise where you think your student is at.
  • Brainstorm specific ideas/actions/learning opportunities that might address any concerns you have identified or may further enhance emerging skills. Pay particular attention to any items you have rated as I/O. 
  • Note any actions you need to follow through on. Suggest that your student records ideas and actions they will need to follow up.
  • Recap and emphasise key points you have covered using the summary feedback section. 
  • Encourage your student to develop a plan for the remainder of the practice placement. Some learning goals may even extend beyond this period. You both should be clear about any actions you have agreed to undertake.

 

I found the structure of the halfway and final marks extremely helpful in being able to understand what areas I needed to improve on for the 5 remaining weeks of my placement. - Student

Notice how both the student and practice educator come away with a clear sense of 'where to from here?'. It runs approximately 3 minutes.
