Riddles

3. How to teach Ofsted Outstanding lessons
10 November 2018
How to teach Ofsted Outstanding lessons
Objectives
Understand how to plan and teach Ofsted Outstanding lessons!

4. Outcomes
ALL WILL
Be able to describe what an outstanding lesson needs to incorporate and plan to observe outstanding teaching in the next half term.
MOST SHOULD
Be able to plan an outstanding lesson and be able give examples of elements that make up a really good one.
SOME COULD
Be able to explain what Ofsted are looking for in an outstanding lesson and describe how their individual strengths can help to teach outstanding lessons in the future..

5. A note on objectives and outcomes:
Objectives are an overview of what is to be learnt, they give the reason for the lesson.
So when the kid says: “what’s the point of this sir?” you have an answer…
(the objective could be content based or skill based – or both)
Outcomes are what learners will achieve/be able to do by the end of the lesson and are linked to the objective.
These should be differentiated. (All, Most, Some) – (Outcomes are incredibly important when we are being observed as they are what we can measure individual student’s progress against.)

6. Why are we doing this? Where are we? (the big picture)
To improve learning experience for students
To understand that by doing what all good teachers do (and that is all of us in the science department) and showing evidence for this we can improve the quality of our lessons and get the evidence we need for observation lessons
We all use some AfL every lesson and by adding some easy extras we can improve the quality of our lessons and get the evidence we need for observation lessons (our show off lessons)

7. What is outstanding? (What is Ofsted looking for?) (the big picture)
Ofsted Focus
Knowing the kids - Individual student’s needs
SEN – use of TAs
Literacy
(Numeracy)
Student progress – learning rather than teaching (and the assessment of this in a lesson)
Working at level and progress in a lesson and over a series of lessons
Behaviour of students

8. Review of lesson observation sheet
Look at the sheet
1) By yourself – look at the difference between Good and Outstanding comments
2) Talk to the person next you – did you come up with the same things?
3) In 2 groups discuss what makes an outstanding lesson and how this is different to a good one.

9. Reviewing progress
Lead learner review - AST

10. Planning to observe Outstanding Teaching (your HW)
somebody from the list with a couple of ideal times.
This is a class/key stage that you want to see (I will cover lessons for people in my frees)
If you do this in your free I will cover a lesson for you if you want that hour back.
Let me know when you are seeing the person.
We will share what we have observed in Wednesday sessions.

11. Planning an Ofsted outstanding
Lesson planning sheets - AST

12. Teaching an outstanding lesson
Ensure that objectives and outcomes are clear and that students know what they are
Make sure students know what level they are at and where they should be aiming for in the lesson (and which outcome relates to which level)
Make sure resources are good and varied – be creative
Have different activities (that are engaging and purposeful)
Play to your strengths,
use sense of humour (if you have one…),
clarity of explanations (if you are clear…),
show off your IT skills (if you know how to switch on a PC, Plymstock school now supports Windows 7…)
Be pacey and ensure tight transitions between activities to fixed timings
Review learning with mini plenaries and go away from your plan if necessary
Behaviour – follow the department policy
Use a plenary to review outcomes of the lesson
Relax!!!

13. Preparing for observation
Use AfL
Can’t be outstanding unless the groundwork is there.
Make sure books are marked in line with the school and department policy.
Get the students into habits/routines.
Make sure your technician knows that you are being observed!
Build good working relationships with students

14. Plenary – reviewing outcomes
Review learning
This is the reason outcomes are so important
This if for the student (a www/ebi) and for the teacher and should advise planning for next lesson.

15. Outcomes
ALL WILL
Be able to describe what an outstanding lesson needs to incorporate and plan to observe outstanding teaching in the next half term.
MOST SHOULD
Be able to plan an outstanding lesson and be able give examples of elements that make up a really good one.
SOME COULD
Be able to explain what Ofsted are looking for in an outstanding lesson and describe how their individual strengths can help to teach outstanding lessons in the future..
