This Placement Summative Joint Report Form has been revised and reflects the revised 2021 GTCS Standards for Provisional Registration. If you have any questions about the new standards, or how to assess against them, please contact your student's University or Placement Tutor.

This Joint Report Assessment form is for DUAL subject students only. For example, this may be a placement student who is undertaking two language subjects (such as French and German) or two sciences (such as Chemistry and Biology) or a mixture of curricular subject areas (such as Mathematics and Physics).

This observation feedback gives a suggested format for structuring feedback from lesson observations to students. It is for guidance only and alternative structures can be used.
