12. Lesson plans and evaluations
One full plan/ evaluation EVERY week
Trainees should evaluate their own lessons WWW/EBI, together with the pupil progress – this links to the lesson plan, where they plan assessment opportunities.
Talk about the new class context sheet and how we expect it to be used.
Trainees should reflect on their lesson and this should form the basis of the weekly meeting discussion.
