2. A Definition What are partnership modules? “ Partnership modules are authored, taught, supported and assessed by partners. Partnership modules are owned by partners.”

3. Partnership Modules Features A suitable module is targeted. Module has inter-related UB and SB component. Substantial time (about 40%)allocated to practical experience within a school. Large numbers of students are placed in a single class/school. Students can be coached in the classroom. Students work more independently but in pairs for teaching small groups. Assessment is not based on quality of student’s teaching but on quality of student learning and ability to evidence such. Planning and assessment must involve schools and class teachers.
