When observing lessons, inspectors may find the following prompts helpful. Are pupils working independently? Are they self-reliant – do they make the most of the choices they are given or do they find it difficult to make choices? To what extent do pupils take responsibility for their own learning? How well do pupils collaborate with others? Are pupils creative, do they show initiative? Are pupils developing habits of good learning? • STOP PRESS • More observation, more teachers, more important • Literacy and numeracy in all lessons/subjects • Behaviour for learning • Teaching assistants! • Assessment informing progress

Questioning and feedback The teacher’s craft….
Can you hear snow? What does sadness taste like? Is carpet a good thing? What colour is 10? Do children smell nice?
What are they looking for? Progress Satisfactory Good Outstanding • – teacher led • – demonstrated through peer and teacher • – student demonstrated, self recorded and apply to new context....
Do lots of DIRT Dedicated improvement and reflection time Teacher adds Xtra progress
Teachers - what’s the difference? Satisfactory? Fount of knowledge ‘filling empty vessels’ Didactic – teacher guides pupils Teacher questions Outcome focus Intelligence is fixed Teacher talks Outstanding Facilitator Pupil-centred activity Pupils construct questions/challenges Pupils as co-designers Pupils judge success, self correcting Creative opportunities Success and failure equal partners for learning Reflection/ metacognition Develops habits/dispositions Language for learning Recognises diverse needs……
Students as leaders and independent learners • Co-designing the learning • Self differentiating, setting their own success criteria • Teaching and coaching each other • Letting them take responsibility • Working harder and talking more (on task) than you do Only babies need spoon feeding!
Our teachers provide clear and challenging objectives We know what we are learning and why We know what “good” looks like and how to achieve it Our teachers help us to recognise and achieve the standards we should be aiming for Our teachers (and our peers) give us regular feedback for learning which is both positive and specific We know what we are doing well and where we need to improve Our teachers show us precisely what we need to do in order to make progress in our learning We know what our next steps are and that makes us confident that we can succeed Our teachers emphasise the links between learning in this lesson and learning elsewhere. This means we know how to apply and adapt the skills we are learning We can see how the skills that we are learning in this lesson transfer to other contexts and that’s helping to make us better, more independent learners
Self-assessment Peer assessment Thinking time for questions Sharing criteria Focussed marking leads to self awareness leads to empathy and resilience builds self-esteem enables students to set targets and goals helps them understand mistakes as learning experiences Assessment for Learning creates EQ
Effective feedback should: • focus on the learning objectives and/or success criteria; • confirm that pupils are on the right track; • stimulate the correction of errors or improvement of a piece of work; • scaffold or support pupils’ next steps; • provide opportunities for pupils to think things through for themselves; • comment on progress over a number of attempts; • avoid comparisons with other pupils; • provide pupils with the opportunity to respond.

Assessment that informs learning - SPOOF • Specific – linked to progression model • Positive, reward effort - and focus on what is right • Ownership for the students (WWW/EBI/MRI) • Outcome focused - where are we going? • Flexible - constantly adapting the plans to deliver best learning
6 Cs for success in the classroom • COLLABORATION • CHOICE • CHALLENGE • create • COMMUNICATION skills • CONFIDENCE as learners • CREATIVE thinking for new solutions
Success Criteria To evaluate some strategies that will improve learning progress to create the ‘perfect’ Ofsted lesson Creative thinking Collaborative learning Writing to persuade Use ‘perfect’ strategies and techniques in my lessons to deliver progress Write a ten word text message to persuade a colleague to try a new technique Engaged in innovative thinking that creates new solutions Share ideas with others in a very engaging way Engage reader to want to change behaviour
Checklist – the 80/20 lesson • Start: environment, rapport, attitude • Objective and level of expectation • Flexibility to adapt lesson and respond to progress • Questioning and classroom dialogue • Impact of interventions by teacher • Skills development – PLTS and subject • Subject passion and expertise • Quality of feedback – oral and written • Level of student to student support • Resources especially ICT and TAs -add to progress • Student self reflection and review is endemic • Outcome demonstration by students – progress for all
