ANALYSIS OF TEACHING & LEARNING

Grade 3 support process

Grade 4 support process

Lesson Obs Case Study No.1

Lesson graded inadequate sighting weaknesses in lesson including; stretch and challenge, subject knowledge and delivering objectives. Variable

consistency of behaviour management also observed. Working with AP to develop this. Rebserve in 6 weeks

Still weaknesses found in displaying the aims and objectives of lessons to students. Student engagement, promotion of ILT and differentiation of learners, all seen

as areas which require improvement. These will be worked on with AP.

Inadequate stretch and challenge with learner

engagement and displaying objectives still requiring improvement.

Good clear subject knowledge, facilitating of class activities and use of LSA sighted as areas of

good practice. Work with AP and CTM to devise 3 activities which enable

students to apply meaningful learning.

6 Drop ins with no follow up required. Bright colourful room with good work produced by students. Innovations

sighted include; Individual tablets for students where they write their own

objectives for the day. Effective classroom management and enthusiastic

supportive delivery to students is becoming a key feature of good teaching

Good use of ILT and very good use of classroom management observed. Learners making vey good progress and the learning is connected very well throughout the lesson. Aims and

objectives clearly identified.

Lesson Obs Case Study No.2

Lesson deemed inadequate for: Being overly teacher

centred, ineffective questioning techniques, no

recap of previous lesson and missed opportunities for

student led activities. Meet with AP and CTM weekly.

Standard of lesson requires improvement due to: ESOW lacking

detail, poor use of E&D in classroom and no challenging of lateness. Working with AP to develop lesson plans and

introduction of late slips to be implemented

Positive feedback is collated from drop ins. All students

enjoying cooking, emphasising a real buzz in the kitchen. Good links to numeracy and enterprise.

Great rapport with students who clearly enjoy their

learning

Very good use of lesson planning which promoted

independent learning. These are two areas which have been heavily focussed on during the

support process which are paying dividend.

Superb realistic links to industry, and excellent

participation by learners. Good use of questioning

techniques, pace and integrating literacy,

numeracy and enterprise
