3. VIDEO ENHANCED OBSERVATION

4. WHY VEO? Teachers want to improve. Improving isn't always easy! Formal observations ≠ improvement. Written obs often fail to capture +/-s effectively.

5. FORMAL PAPER VS PEER VEO Time consuming Speeds up review time Ineffective feedback mechanism; Empirical evidence & data to support feedback Minimal impact High impact (observer & observed!) Stressful Supportive "Mentoring" or "Monitoring"? Peer coaching / mentoring Ineffective feedback mechanism Focus feedback on key areas.

6. Mike Cladingbowl, National Director, Schools. OFSTED - 2014 “... I am still concerned that ineffective and unnecessary lesson observation is going on in too many of our schools.” “... a balance of support & measurement” Professor Alan Tuckett, University of Wolverhampton - 2015

7. AIMS Increase ongoing, supportive, peer-led CPD & sharing of good practice. Change the mind-set throughout schools about the purpose of observation: Encourage less "surveillance-style" observations; Assessment FOR teaching not assessment OF teaching; Enable more effective professional discussion - shifting discussion from describing to interpreting; Improve classroom practice while reducing pressure & stress.
