Evaluation Procedures
All faculty members have a deep commitment to supporting
the student’s Personal Process and holding the required
standards set by the School, so that the quality and integrity of
the healing work can be maintained. It is our sincere desire
and intention to provide all BBSH United Kingdom students
with timely and specific information about their progress, so
that all blocks to learning can be addressed with support,
compassion, and honor for the deep healing and change
students encounter in their work here.
The following evaluation/feedback system is in place to
keep students informed of their progress and any concerns
the faculty has of the student’s ability to complete the year,
move on to the next year, or graduate. It is the intention of
the faculty to provide continual updates to students about the
progress they’re making throughout the Program. We want
every student to know exactly where he/she stands, and we
encourage any student who is not certain to ask his/her Small
Class Teacher.
Students also receive verbal feedback, suggestions and
evaluations from their Small Class Teacher during each week
of Resident Training.
There are several ways a student will receive written
evaluation and feedback:
• Student Progress Report
• Student Letter Form
• Distance Learning Modules
• Final Exam
Student Progress Report
The student’s skills progress is recorded on a Student
Progress Report during the Resident Training session by the
Small Class Teacher, with input from the student’s other
faculty members, such as Supervisors and the Class Dean.
This report tells students whether their performance of a
Healing Science, Psych-Spiritual Development or Creative Arts
skill, Professional Practice or Integrative Care requirement, is
either Passing (P) or Not Passing (N).
The Student Progress Report also lists the class week in
which the student will be taught a skill and the class week by
which the student should have passed the skill. Students must
pass all the skills listed on their Student Progress Report in
order to progress to the next class year, or to graduate from
the Program.
Student Letter Form
At times, the faculty may need to communicate their
concerns to a student about his/her progress. Such concerns
may include the following:
1. The student is having difficulty passing a Healing Science,
Psych-Spiritual Development, or Professional Practice
requirement.
2. The student is having difficulty or is unwilling to engage
in his/her personal process and take self-responsibility for
his/her actions and attitudes.
3. The student is experiencing physical or psychological
difficulties that significantly affect his/her ability to
perform the class work.
4. The student will not pass the current year of study and
will need to repeat the year.
5. The student will pass the current year of study but with
conditional requirements for the following year.
6. The student does not adhere to the School policies and
ethics, and/or is consistently violating class requirements,
procedures, or ground rules.
This information is conveyed to the student either directly
on the Student Progress Report (may not pass/will not pass),
or by a Student Letter Form and a meeting with the faculty
clearly indicating both the issue and the severity of the issue,
and defining if the student is in jeopardy of not moving on to
the next year or not graduating. The form will indicate if the
student is to be placed on probation, and the steps the
student needs to take to be returned to good standing.
Distance Learning Modules
Distance Learning Modules (DLMs) are graded on a pass/
fail basis. Small Class Teachers may write feedback on each
student’s lessons, helping them to go deeper into their
developing healership. Students are required to complete all
DLMs by the assigned due dates.
Final Exam
Each year students take a comprehensive Final Exam that
evaluates knowledge in Healing Science, Psych-Spiritual
Development, Creative Arts, Professional Practice, and
Integrative Care. Final Exams are administered in English only,
and are graded on a pass/fail basis; a passing grade is 70%.
