Test of Instructional Ability (Part 3)
A DVSA examiner will conduct the test, he/she is responsible for making and assessing your performance. At the end of the test the examiner of the test will decide if you have reached or not reached a satisfactory standard where you will be given your test results.
The test is specially designed to assess the quality of instruction and ability to pass on relevant knowledge to students with different levels of ability through your practical teaching skills.
The test is in two parts, part 1 and part 2 each of which lasts about half an hour. You must pass both parts on the same test.
The instruction you give should be tailored to the time available and to the standard of the pupil being role played by the examiner. You will probably find it helpful to establish the depth of the pupils knowledge in each phase by asking questions and observing the pupils performance as you would with a real pupil you had not taught before.
