5. Lesson Obs Case Study No.2 Start of process: Grade 4 Lesson deemed inadequate for: Being overly teacher centred, ineffective questioning techniques, no recap of previous lesson and missed opportunities for student led activities. Meet with AP and CTM weekly. Superb realistic links to industry, and excellent participation by learners. Good use of questioning techniques, pace and integrating literacy, numeracy and enterprise Re-Observed Grade 3 Following yr observation: Grade 2 Outcome (grade 2) Standard of lesson requires improvement due to: ESOW lacking detail, poor use of E&D in classroom and no challenging of lateness. Working with AP to develop lesson plans and introduction of late slips to be implemented Very good use of lesson planning which promoted independent learning. These are two areas which have been heavily focussed on during the support process which are paying dividend. Positive feedback is collated from drop ins. All students enjoying cooking, emphasising a real buzz in the kitchen. Good links to numeracy and enterprise. Great rapport with students who clearly enjoy their learning 6 Drop Ins later Re-Observed: Grade 2
