Hi Jack-of-all-trades,

I've been looking at the standards on here. When its says you need to show you can do them? how do you do that? is it in writing? proof from a teacher? or do they observe you? or is all of these? do you have to do portfolio evidence? sorry so many questions. Thanks

Sorry clarky this hadn't shown up on my screen I found it rechecking a std.You have probably found out by now but in case......
You have to do Tasks which are written up the Standards are evidence within the Tasks.You can have an observation by a teacher but only to cover some and you still need to write up the Task.You do need portfolio evidence to show the supporting evidence of each Task and you need to evidence each STD twice so in all 66 pieces of evidence which can be photos, written eg. lesson plans(yours), policys annotated,child's work.
The assessors also comes and interviews you for about 30mins and reads your portfolio.They interview the head and the class teacher too.
