Assessment of Direct Practice Modules - DP1 and DP2

Principles and Processes: The Assessment Pack contains detailed information about the principles and processes which apply to this module including:

• the essential instruments of assessment
• the process of assessment of direct practice
• a diagram of the assessment process

Assessment of students is a 3 way process (student, practice teacher, and tutor) with each party having a contribution to make in maximising the learning opportunities for the student; assessment is a continuing process (formative) as well as an event (summative) which finally dictates pass or fail - assessment must reflect these concepts.
