Assessment for HLTA Status
The Process
1. Completing written tasks. These are accounts of normal activities, snapshots of candidates’ work with:
• An individual
• A small group
• A whole class (ideally without a teacher present)
• Plus five other shorter accounts of situations
• Assigning actions to each standard
2. Compiling a portfolio of evidence. Documentary evidence clearly matched to the standards.
3. A half-day visit from an assessor to verify that the candidate has met all the standards.
Timeframe of Assessment Process
At the time of preparation
Day 1 of preparation:
• Preparer checks certificates to ensure qualifications are appropriate
• Candidate registers for assessment and receives a unique reference number (URN)
Following Day 2 of preparation:
• Preparer completes form F17
On Day 3 of preparation:
• Preparer provides details of the assessment ‘window’ and the submission date of assessment tasks
Following preparation
Assessment must be completed within 12 weeks from the end of Day 3 of preparation.
• Following Day 3 candidates have four school working weeks (20 days) to complete and submit their assessment tasks
• Candidates can expect their school visit to be within 6 – 8 weeks from Day 3 of preparation
• Assessors will have sufficient time to scrutinize the assessment tasks and prepare for the school visit
