Professional Experience Interim and Final Report Digital Process Professional Experience Units (Excluding AfGT) CDU uses the InPlace placement management system to manage the completion, submission and verification of Interim, Specialisation, and Final Assessment Reports. Mentors complete Assessment Reports electronically using secure links emailed directly from InPlace. No InPlace login is required. Following submission by the Mentor, the Assessment Report is reviewed and acknowledged by the Pre-service Teacher before being verified by the assigned Professional Experience Supervisor. Once the workflow is complete, the Assessment Report becomes available to the Pre-service Teacher through their InPlace Portal for submission to Learnline. Assessment Report Workflow 1. The placement commences. 2. InPlace automatically emails the Mentor a secure link to the relevant Assessment Report. The Interim Report link is sent three days before the midpoint of the placement, and the Final Report link is sent three days before the final placement day. Please Note: The Specialisation Report applies only to EPE528 and EPR330 . For these units, the Specialisation Report link is emailed to the Mentor three days before the final placement day. 3. The Mentor accesses the Assessment Report using the secure link. No InPlace login is required. 4. The Mentor completes the Assessment Report in consultation with the Pre-service Teacher, discussing progress, evidence, strengths and areas for development. • If a Not Met rating is recorded for any standard, the Mentor must immediately contact the assigned Professional Experience Supervisor. • If a Not Encountered rating is selected, InPlace will require a learning goal to be entered before the Assessment Report can be submitted. 5. The Mentor submits the Assessment Report electronically. 6. InPlace automatically notifies the Pre-service Teacher that the Assessment Report is available for acknowledgement. 7. The Pre-service Teacher acknowledges that they have reviewed and discussed the Assessment Report with their Mentor and submits their acknowledgement electronically. 8. InPlace automatically notifies the assigned Professional Experience Supervisor that the Assessment Report is ready for verification. 9. The Professional Experience Supervisor reviews the Assessment Report and submits their verification electronically. 10. The completed Assessment Report becomes available to the Pre-service Teacher through their InPlace Portal. 11. The Pre-service Teacher downloads the completed Assessment Report from the InPlace Portal and uploads it to Learnline for submission to their Unit Coordinator/Lecturer. Please Note Automated reminder emails are issued when Assessment Reports or acknowledgements become overdue. If the secure Assessment Report link is lost or expires, the Mentor should contact the assigned Professional Experience Supervisor, who can generate and issue a replacement link. Reporting Guidelines and Assessment Recommendations. Assessment Principles • Professional Judgement is Essential: Mentors assess the Pre-service Teacher’s progress based on direct observation, collected evidence, and the specific context of the placement. Assessment focuses on the Pre-service Teacher’s demonstrated knowledge, practice, and engagement in relation to the Graduate Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APSTs) . • Placement Context Matters: When assessing, Mentors must consider whether the Pre-service Teacher had realistic and sufficient opportunities to demonstrate each Graduate APST descriptor. Judgements should reflect the unique characteristics and constraints of the placement setting. Assessment Scale | Met | The graduate teacher standard descriptor has been met. | | --- | --- | | Developing | The graduate teacher standard descriptor has been partially met with scope for further development during subsequent placement days. | | Not Met | The graduate t
