edited and updated at regular intervals during the year. In practice you are likely to have a combination of handwritten sections and word processed documents which have been printed out.

Part 2 Teaching Development Profile(TDP) – Each of the three sections within Part 2 is available as a separate Word file in Canvas. The first section is completed by you and should be used to record your progress towards meeting some of the Teachers’ Standards during your autumn term ACE days in school. You could use the printed copy as a jotter and then transfer your rough notes to the word processed version. The remaining two sections are completed by school staff and your university tutors towards the end of each school placement. There are also sections for you to complete. Some might prefer to complete the TDP by hand, in which case you will have to give your school mentors the printed version of the T&PDP. Others might prefer to use a word processor, in which case you will have to download the appropriate file from Canvas and pass it on for completion. For each school placement there is a section for you to complete, in which you can reflect on your progress, set yourself future targets, and comment on the impact you have had on the children’s progress and learning.. This can be completed using a word processor or by hand. Any sections completed using a word processor must be printed out and attached to the printed version of the TDP document so that key personnel have access to them. For example your mentor, class teacher and university tutor for the summer placement will want to see the relevant sections for the spring placement.
