Formative assessment tasks, set within collaborative learning activities will feature throughout the course and along with peer review exercises, will help prepare participants for the final summative assessment. For summative assessment purposes, participants will be expected to identify, plan, implement, evaluate and report on a developmental activity completed in their practice setting. The report will contain a critically reflective commentary on the development undertaken and provide a body of supportive evidence of the development in practice and its outcomes (total equivalent to 6000 words, allowing for a variety of submission formats). 1st attempt: Participants will be required to submit for summative assessment equivalent to a total of 6000 words taking account of different reporting formats. Assessment will be criteria-based. Resit: There will be one opportunity to resubmit the work completed, as revised to take account of identified inadequacies in the original.
There are no assessments for this course.
