The courses I deliver are government funded either though a college, such as Westminster Kingways College or from a contract provider such as, Reed in Partnership. Westminster Kingsway College courses are accredited and has a qualification attached whereas, Reed in Partnership does not. Both require evidence of evaluation, data and feedback. I will concentrate on the non-accredited course of Personal Development and Confidence Building.
My first part of evaluation takes place with the individual learner which takes form of an interview where I complete an action plan with the learner. This evaluates the learner’s needs, their ability to complete the course and what they intend to achieve from the course. This interview is not always conducted by me and it is important that whoever is conducting the interview document and complete the action plan informatively and contains relevant information to provide the learner with the correct support that they may need. During my course I constantly evaluate my learners by means of observations, questioning, completing tasks, discussions and th...

Many nursing experts believe that evaluation is the most crucial part of employee development. Debate the pros and cons of this statement and decide whether the statement is true. If it is not true, then what constitutes the most important part of employee development?
Our Session Long Project (SLP) for Module 1 transforms the evaluation essay into a job evaluation. The type of job evaluation used in this SLP identifies the responsibilities of the job and bases the individual’s performance on these responsibilities. What does this mean to the employee; it means that if they understand the responsibilities of their job they are better able to perform it to the satisfaction of the evaluator. However employees who are not informed of their responsibilities can invalidate your evaluation process very quickly and wreck havoc in any organization.
Assessment has been the greatest challenge in my development as a professional. My coursework as supported my growth in this area, especially in understanding the broad range of assessments used to support students’ growth and development. My courses have also supported my understanding of how ongoing observational assessment and standards-based measures can be used to inform instruction and support the cycle of observation, reflection and planning.

Hospitalization among adolescent females in an inpatient psychiatric unit is fairly common. However, little research has been done on the topic. This qualitative research proposal will examine the reasoning behind the effects hospitalization has on these adolescent females, between the ages of 12-18, after they spent some time at Chicago Lakeshore Hospital. Self-reporting, via interviews and questionnaires, from hospitalized adolescent girls will be the manner in which the data will be collected. Since the length of hospital stays may vary, questionnaires and interviews will be conducted upon discharge in order to keep procedure unanimous.. A general inductive approach will be used to assess data collected from patients.
Everyone has its strength and weaknesses, it can see from when the exam is around the corner. Some students will prepare early but some are not.
DiClemente (2013) stated, “Although no evaluation is perfect, evaluation research can have a high degree of rigor” (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013, pp. 298). The result of a high degree of rigor can lead to the utilization by program planners and policy experts which would in turn could impact public health policy and promotion practice (DiClemente et al., 2013). This is obtained by a step by step, all equally important, process in what is known as the “Nine Step Stairway to Effective Evaluation”.
There a three main stages to assessment the start of a course when Initial and diagnostic assessments should take place these methods are used to identify the learners suitability learning levels and learning needs for their chosen course. The second stage would be the middle of the course where I would want to use continuous assessment methods such as peer assessment and self assessment too ensure that the learners are making the correct progress, all of these methods have formative assessment roles that allow the learner to improve whilst learning. Finally there would be a final assessment this could be a written exam end of module test or performi...

First of all I will carry out a diagnostic assessment with the learner to establish prior knowledge and competence of the course, also through questions and answers based on their basic skills, learning difficulties and personal circumstances etc. that may impact on her learning.
I always help students identifying their learning and progress and give them feedback. Students need to be aware of their achievement and progress. I adapt practice and plan further learning, this will make the assessment meaningful and effective as it will answer to the learner needs. 6.3 Use types and methods of assessment, including peer and self-assessment, to: - Involve learners in assessment - Meet the individual needs of learners - Enable learner's to produce assessment evidence that valid. Reliable.
I believe it is important for any student who wants to do their best in a class to take a moment to evaluate their own work to determine the rate their writing is progressing and how they can continue to advance their writing. When I looked through my own work I asked myself “what have I learned this semester?” and “what do I still need to learn in order to improve my writing?”. Answering both these questions will help me with my last step of my self-evaluation, developing a plan to learn new skills.
...d evaluating their teaching. Parents and the students themselves are vital in the process. They allow for IEPs to be moulded to the student and for aims to be specific and as clear as possible. To enable students to develop fully, their individual needs must be considered and dealt with.
Although curriculum is developed by Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) so that teachers can be more aware of what they are expected to teach throughout the year, many people can influence the curriculum. These include; business owners, government, higher education, such as universities, special interest groups, parents and carers, teachers and childcare professionals and students who modify it to suit their needs (ACARA, 2013). An example of this is some business owner’s need young apprentices with certain hospitality certificates, and now as a result of greater vocational emphasis, higher years of schooling now accommodate to these students’ needs...
