4. Judgement on Strengths and Impact
Good use of resources to support learning – article with deliberate punctuation mistakes prepared by the tutor to focus on learning and assessment
Good teaching of English, Mathematics and skills for Employment: learning and support was evident in achieving learning goals and careers aims. Clear actions identified and acted on to help students make good progress to support skills development.
Good use resource to support learning: The tutor had a variety of magazines to raise Student’s awareness of what is published and how this may influence teenagers. Questionnaire hand-outs used
Everybody was enjoying the class and engaged
Excellent subject knowledge – it was evident from the PowerPoint presentation that the tutor has subject knowledge consummate with the level of the course
Students were making good progress and learning was evident: students understood Yoga terms, they were able to interpret and implement poses and stretches to match their level of skills and experience.
Selection of activities challenged students and ensured they were enthused, including the use of the interactive whiteboard. 

5. Judgement on development need and why
Ineffective use of time: Review the demonstration as it was too long. A shorter demonstration in stages would have been more beneficial to learning.
Display objectives in a visual manner as well as verbal.
Insufficient developmental feedback: ensure that all students understand what they need to do to improve.
Display learning objectives throughout the session to support evaluation of learning at the end of the lesson. Whilst discussed, these were not available for students to view, during teaching and to review progress.
Use of directed questioning: although students are continually assessed in their practical work. Demonstrations should be shown to whole class.
Embed some further in depth questioning during Q & A sessions.
