  1. Lesson observation, grading criteria and what observers are looking for

  2. Lesson Observation Systems • What is the aim of lesson observation? • Systems different in every college - number, length, focus, type, choice of observer • Ofsted grades: • 1 Outstanding • 2 Good • 3 Requires improvement • 4 Inadequate • Assessing quality of teaching • “grade descriptors” • best fit NOT a checklist

  3. Starter • NQTs are experienced observers! • What have you seen that is “outstanding”? • What have you seen that is “requiring improvement”?

  4. Task • Read the lesson observation write-ups and decide on a grade – make sure you can justify the grade awarded • What are your “top tips” for lesson observation

  5. Top Tips • Be prepared for observers to talk to learners & check class/home work • Attendance & punctuality • Students should be working harder than the teacher! • Observers will be thinking about attainment • Individual needs • Learning & assessing/checking of learning - questioning technique, making appropriate interventions. • No trial runs/repeats! • Does the lesson engage, challenge and motivate learners? • Does the teacher/subject matter foster curiosity and enthusiasm? • Be aware of how you are helping to develop reading, writing, communication and maths skills – correct common and subject specific words • Make explicit the “skills for progression” students are developing e.g. creating independent learners.
