NZQA Full Assessment??

[speckythecky]

OH's work experience has only been at 3 schools with 2 breaks for maternity but these were within continuous employment at the schools. Evidence of work experience is all in one letter from current head as she has worked at current school for more than 5 years - Letter states evidence of previous positions in previous schools.
Section D of the TC1 form from nz teaching council: http://www.teacherscouncil.govt.nz/pdf/tc1webform.pdf
ask for a list of all teaching service with the exception of that completed during teacher education (teaching practice).
It says to include both short term / temporary (e.g. day reliever) and long term / permanent and the form has space for you to identify which.
How to give evidence of this is not stated but the more you can provide that better so if you can get evidence from local authority or from any agency or the schools themselves it would be an advantage

to make things worse we had to pay £10 to the university for then to send us a course transcript. They then replied that they had no transcripts as it was too long since the course. We have sent of our application to NZQA who will probably contact uni and they will ask for £10 again in order to confirm that we attended, all part of the data protection act.

I had the same problem with Cardy - I ended up ringing as they didn't reply to the emails - I then had to chase the info needed from the Awarding body - I ended up having to pay the UK Awarding body to search their old storage files (I am sure that Education facilities have to keep some records for 25 years if I remember rightly - which is why I still got my CSE certificates - they were still on site at my old school when I started work in the Office I had vowed never to step foot in the place - but ended up working there 20yrs later!)

Good luck

Just to update you all. I emailed my evaluator a few days ago to be told someone else was handling it. I then emailed them and they told me they were only covering the original evaluator because they were on leave, now they're back, it's their responsibility. But he did say that he completed the assessment on 27th April. Not sure what 'completed' means so I've emailed the first guy to, hopefully, get an answer.

One thing though, they have been very quick in answering my emails which is something I didn't expect.

We phoned last night but only got answer phones, tried 3 different numbers and tried throughout the night, 11pm , 2am and 5am. As you can guess I didn't get much sleep last night, will try again tonight and if no sucess with that then will e mail the evaluator directly

Spoke to evaluator last night, he has not had a response from uni yet. It was sent 3 weeks ago (on easter monday) so probably got lost. We asked him to send again. Just got e mail from him saying he has been unable to get fax to send (wonder if that happened last time) and would try all day but if that failed he would send letter by fast post on way out of door.
Hopefully more news this time next week.

Got e mail today saying that degree has been verified by uni so now just waiting for confirmation from NZQA so we can move on to the next step.
Time for more money to be spent, but we are one step closer to the dream.

Well, it arrived at 4.00pm by DHL as promised, no verifications or the like. All documents back along with the assessment report. Lovely jubbly.
