KSVBs evidence tracker
KSVB evidence tracker
At the heart of this programme are the Knowledge, Skills, Values and Behaviours (KSVBs). These form the core requirements for apprentices and you will be expected to have gathered evidence demonstrating these.
So, in addition to your learning log, the second key document you’ll be working on throughout the year is your KSVB Evidence Tracker.
This tracker is where you will document concrete examples that demonstrate your development across the various capabilities required in your practice. These capabilities, also referred to as KSVB standards or competencies, represent the areas in which you are expected to achieve full competence by the end of the programme.
We will explore these standards in more depth as part of the first session.
You are expected to provide approximately three pieces of evidence for each KSVB standard. Your level of competence in each area will be reviewed and self-assessed at multiple points throughout the year, particularly during your tripartite review meetings. As you continue to gather and log relevant evidence, your competency levels are expected to increase over time. Once you have submitted three suitable pieces of evidence for a given standard, you will be considered “fully competent” in that area.
The video below will guide you through the tracker and offer suggestions on how to collect and organise your evidence effectively.
Key takeaways from the video on the tracker:
- Save any possible pieces of evidence in an evidence folder and number them.
- Regularly review the evidence folder and map them, where possible, against suitable standards.
- You may use the same piece of evidence for up to 4 different standards.
- Keep tracker up to date and review regularly.
- Review your level of competency at each tripartite review.
Examples of evidence
Evidence should be tangible pieces that can be saved in your folder.
Examples include;
Word documents/pdf (session plans, assignments, feedback, observations, reflection pieces, annotated articles, meeting minutes, worksheets, handbooks)
Presentation documents (teaching materials, handouts)
Other (photos, certificates, screenshots, rotas, redacted emails, poster)
More trickier examples to evidence, such as shadowing or discussions that have taken place, can be summarised as a paragraph that can be confirmed/signed off by your mentor/line manager.
If you have any questions about what constitutes evidence, how to evidence something or whether a piece of evidence is suitable for a certain standard, please to contact Keely or Erik.
