ensure all monitoring processes are uploaded via ‘view feedback button’
pre determined discussion points based on e.g. career entry profile, targets, PLEs, lesson observations, book scrutiny,
questions to consider …
how do you know?
what is the impact?
are the 5 standards in balance?...why not?
how do we spread the good things?
who could you help?
how can we help you?
…ambitions for next time?
What do we mean by regular – at least every half term
After break idea for past NQTs to share their experiences and PLEs
