...and this table provides a more detailed breakdown of the hours allocated to various study activities:
Category | Hours of study time | Description |
---|---|---|

The taught aspects of the National Award for SEN Coordination programme in modules EFPM278 SEN: Organisational contexts and EFPM279 SEN: Leading on teaching and learning are mapped onto the SENCO Learning Outcomes (SLOs). At various points throughout the taught days, these SLOs are referred to and reflected upon. Students are strongly encouraged to build up and develop the portfolio over the 12 month programme. |
How this Module is Assessed
In the tables below, you will see reference to 'ILO's. An ILO is an Intended Learning Outcome - see Aims and Learning Outcomes for details of the ILOs for this module.
Formative Assessment
A formative assessment is designed to give you feedback on your understanding of the module content but it will not count towards your mark for the module.
Form of assessment | Size of the assessment (eg length / duration) | ILOs assessed | Feedback method |
---|---|---|---|
The SENCO Learning Outcomes Portfolio is formatively assessed at various points throughout the 12 month programme. | 12 months | 1-14 | Tutor and peer oral comment |
Summative Assessment
A summative assessment counts towards your mark for the module. The table below tells you what percentage of your mark will come from which type of assessment.
Coursework | Written exams | Practical exams |
---|---|---|
100 | 0 | 0 |
...and this table provides further details on the summative assessments for this module.
Form of assessment | % of credit | Size of the assessment (eg length / duration) | ILOs assessed | Feedback method |
---|---|---|---|---|
Portfolio of evidence and critical reflection with examples in relation to the each of the SENCO Learning Outcomes, organised in 3 sections: A Professional knowledge and understanding, B Leading and coordinating provision C Personal and professional qualities | 100 | The portfolio is to be developed over the 12 months of the National Award for SEN Coordination programme. There is no stipulated length | 1-14 | Formal written tutor feedback. Pass/fail. |
Re-assessment
Re-assessment takes place when the summative assessment has not been completed by the original deadline, and the student has been allowed to refer or defer it to a later date (this only happens following certain criteria and is always subject to exam board approval). For obvious reasons, re-assessments cannot be the same as the original assessment and so these alternatives are set. In cases where the form of assessment is the same, the content will nevertheless be different.
Original form of assessment | Form of re-assessment | ILOs re-assessed | Timescale for re-assessment |
---|---|---|---|
Portfolio | Portfolio | 1-14 | 6 weeks |
