Portfolio of evidence
Choose a guided template below, complete the fields, then submit directly to your portfolio or export as PDF for external submission. Every item you submit is auto-evaluated by ReadyRoom AI.
Assessment rubric — how your evidence is graded
Every submission is evaluated against the same PDQ 5881 criteria, so expectations are identical for everyone. Review this before you submit.
- Understanding of teaching & learning concepts
- Developing thinking & practice (theory → practice)
- Analysis & reflection beyond description
- Communication & presentation
- Distinction (85–100) — critical understanding, theory-linked practice, rigorous referencing.
- Pass (60–84) — sound understanding, some theory-practice links, mostly descriptive.
- Fail (< 60) — thin evidence, little theory-practice connection, no referencing.

Upload evidence to a module for review
Upload a lesson plan, observation report, image, infographic, poster, PDF or document (max 10 MB) directly to a module. Your teacher will review each upload.
Module 1 — specific activities to complete
For each unit, complete every listed piece of evidence using the specific activity instruction. Use the template picker below that matches each item type.
Unit 1.1 — Understanding Learning and Teaching in an IGCSE Context
- 1Unit 1.1 Observation Visit FormObservation report~400 words
Observe one IGCSE lesson using the Observation Visit Form: agree a focus with the teacher beforehand, record objective evidence (not opinion), and agree 2–3 action points in the debrief. Attach the observed teacher’s lesson plan.
- 2Evidence of learning & reflection (Unit 1.1)Reflection~1200 words
Write ~1,200 words: (1) explain how learners learn in an IGCSE context, (2) describe the key characteristics of effective IGCSE teachers, (3) explain assessment types and principles in your subject, then reflect on the key features of an effective IGCSE lesson. Reference at least two learning theories with author and year.
Unit 1.2 — Planning and Teaching an Effective IGCSE Lesson
- 1Unit 1.2 Lesson Plan FormLesson plan~600 words
Plan one IGCSE lesson using the Lesson Plan Form: state the target AO, learning objective, success criteria, starter–main–plenary sequence, a formative checkpoint and differentiation.
- 2Observer Feedback FormObservation report~400 words
Have your mentor or peer observe the taught lesson and complete the Observer Feedback Form, recording strengths, areas to develop and 2–3 agreed action points.
- 3Lesson evaluation & reflection (Unit 1.2)Reflection~1200 words
Evaluate the taught lesson (what worked, what to improve) and the impact of this unit on your practice and preparation for Module 2 (~1,200 words).
Unit 1.3 — Teaching a Sequence of IGCSE Lessons
- 1Unit 1.3 Lesson Plan FormLesson plan~600 words
Plan one observed lesson within a sequence using the Lesson Plan Form, showing how it advances the scheme from AO1 to AO2 to AO3.
- 2Observer Feedback FormObservation report~400 words
Record the mentor or peer observer feedback on the observed lesson using the Observer Feedback Form.
- 3Teaching Activity LogTeaching material~400 words
Complete a Teaching Activity Log describing the activities used across the sequence and how each one supported learning.
- 4Sequence reflection & impact on practiceReflection~1200 words
Evaluate the cumulative impact of the sequence on learner progress and on your practice (~1,200 words), referencing at least two theories with specific connections to your classroom.
