We suggest you assess students' work| at the end of the project. Assessment can be a positive experience and creates an exciting conclusion to the project. There are two approaches; assessment of the group's work as a whole, or assessment of an individual's work. Awarding certificates| at a celebratory event helps students feel their work is valued.

It is also a good idea to evaluate your partnership as it proceeds. This can be very light-touch. Teachers and architects are busy people! But it will ensure you are keeping on the right track during the project, and that you can learn from any problems encountered.

A practitioner partnership offers significant CPD opportunities for both architects and teachers. This is recognised by both RIBA and the Teaching Development Agency (TDA). CPD certificates| can be awarded at the end of a project to record this.
