L2/L3: Monitoring and reviewing performance during placement

The quality of the placement as a learning activity is also dependent on an informal (and if the placement allows a formal mid-placement) check-in to discuss how you think your student is faring as they work to learn. Peformance Review will be continuous throughout a student’s placement, but not all placements warrant a mid-placement performance review check in. Often and end-placement review may only be formally required.

Making informed judgements about a student’s performance on placement can be achieved through formal criteria. Our Performance Review Process may assist you and your partnering HEI in supports your students learning and development journey ^[1]

L2/L3: Mid- and end-placement – check-in on student’s progress and review of student performance.

Suggested Action Mid-Review: Review, discuss, monitor and provide feedback on your student’s level of performance at the half-way point of the placement.
Suggested Action End-Review: Review, discuss, monitor and provide feedback on your student’s level of performance at the end-point of the placement.
Documents: See “Performance Review Template” for completion and refer back to the completed “Expectation Setting Grid” document that you filled out at the start of the placement (step 1).

Performance Review Example

Conducting a performance review with your student during and at the conclusion of placement provides an important opportunity for your student to receive feedback on both their workplace performance and ongoing development.  To help you with this we have prepared a discipline-based Performance Review Template Example, available for download. Follow the instructions as per the Performance Review Criteria, Performance Review Star System and Performance Review Process.
