Why has the formal / final assessment for my ECT been rejected?

If an assessment has been rejected, there will be details in the comments as to the reason for rejection, and the action you need to take.

ECT Assessments Term 3 and 6 will be rejected if:

A lesson observation that has taken place within the ECTs terms 1-3 / 4-6 has not been uploaded in the documents section for the ECT.

Please note, your ECT and Induction Tutor/Headteacher will need to login and re-sign this form assessment once you have uploaded your evidence.

Please remember to include sufficient level of detail when completing a formal or final assessment. As these are at the end of each year of induction, they require should be more detailed than a termly professional progress review.

Why hasn't the ECT Mentor received a log in for ECT Manager?

Mentors do not require access to ECT Manager. Professional Progress Reviews and Formal Assessments are submitted by the Induction Tutor, commented on and digitally signed by the ECT, then digitally signed by the Induction Tutor.

Headteachers are only required to digitally sign Formal Assessments but can still access all Progress Reviews.

Headteachers also need to digitally sign any new ECT registrations before we can process.
