I didn't find it sstressful tutor just comes along and sits observing just got on llike they weren't there x

[Andreia]

Ok thanks for the reply.. But could you tell me how it works? How long she stays there, and how many days she will be coming back? thanks

haven't the college been through it with you and haven't you met her?????? my students have a complete plan for each visit and the assessor meets them beforehand. they would never just jump in. how unprofessional

[todite88]

They tell me the date they wil come and what I'm being observed on so I can be prepared..there usually maybe 2 hours I'll only be having 3 observations with my level 3 x

Hi there..
well I asked my assessor and she gave me all the information. The thing is, I do the course online. She will give me all the planing thing before she comes and it will be agreed between me and her, but as I never really worked in a Nursery before (only nanny and baby sitting) I was curious how is it. I want to read the experience really.. but I guess everyone here work in a nursery so is not a bid deal as it is for me. Thanks :)

Hi, I had an observation on friday and my assessor just stayed long enough to watch me do a literacy activity with a group of children and give me some quick feedback, she was there half hour tops.
Good luck!

half an hour is a disgrace cheap training and appalling support
they should be there min of 2 hours then discuss your practice with you then complete your portfolio and plan your next visit. please tell me it was a private provider and not cache.

Do assesses take you to the side at the end of observations to look at your work? I'm having a similar problem that my assessor has never looked at any of my work and it's slowly growing larger and I have no idea if any of it is right.

I'm doing mine through the local college but am registered with cache. I am work based and having an observation in school once every 4-6 weeks. My next visit is already planned and I submit my assignments as I do them. Can ring my assessor at anytime for support if needed x
