Subject Knowledge Audit – Science
NAME DATE
Purpose of the Audit Your indications of subject knowledge strengths and weaknesses will be used as a basis for discussion during your individual interview and will inform target‐setting afterwards. When the course begins, the audit will also be used to inform planning for the development of key areas of individual trainee subject knowledge.
Please complete the enclosed audit as accurately and completely as possible using the following ‘codes’ where applicable and bring along to your interview.
Knowledge Grade 0 No secure knowledge 1 Basic knowledge can be applied to the solution of problems 2 Secure knowledge that can be used to explain to others Source of Knowledge A GCSE Qualification or below B AS or A Level Study C Degree or Post Graduate academic study D Other (e.g. Employment, Professional Training)
