Integrated Assessment:
Three forms of assessment will take place, namely:

Formative assessment: The scheme of work includes assignments based on the learning material and learners are given feedback. The process is continuous and focuses on smaller sections of the work and limited number of outcomes.

Summative assessment: Examinations or equivalent assessment such as a research essay or portfolio in order to determine a representative of the Exit Level Outcomes practised and assessed in the formative stage. Summative assessment also tests the learner’s ability to manage and integrate a large body of knowledge to achieve the stated outcomes of a module.

Teaching Practice assessment: Continuous assessment – Both teaching practice sessions are supervised through the appointment of in-school mentors and the institutions’ appointed supervisors. The assessment of the learner is done by both the school-based mentor teacher and the institution’s appointed supervisor. The assessment includes an appraisal of a portfolio consisting of lesson plans, classroom observations, self-reflective reports and mentoring (supervision) reports.
