Presentation transcript:

Conducting the observations

After planning your visit with the class teacher or subject coordinator you might have agreed to-

take part in a lesson acting as classroom helper during your visit

do a formal observation-taking no immediate role other than talking to the children about what they are doing

work with a small group

introduce yourself to your linked class and answer any of their questions

meet with the class teacher or coordinator to discuss particular issues or set the context

observe - focussing on an agreed area/issue that the class teacher would like some feedback on e.g. the involvement of a particular group of pupils.

Please remember that observations do not require judgement on the teacher.

It might also be useful to clarify some ‘what ifs’ beforehand It might also be useful to clarify some ‘what ifs’ beforehand. For example:-

What if I see children misbehaving when the teacher doesn’t?

What if a pupil asks me how to do something?

What if I have a suggestion to make?

Providing Feedback

It is important that a time is agreed between yourself and the class teacher to discuss the lesson you have taken part in or observed. During this feedback you might refer to notes you have made.

The structure might include:

Asking the teacher for any further clarification of the lesson or for their views on how it went.

Giving your own impressions on what you saw

Providing any positive comment.

Raising any issues that appeared to develop.

Any further questions you might have

A summary of the feedback you will be giving to the governing body.

At the end of the feedback both you and the teacher should be clear about what you will be sharing with the governing body- there should be no surprises!
