Period 2: Lead Teach, Year 7, Observed. Lesson Evaluation.

Lesson Objective and Intended Learning Outcome:
I feel the objectives and outcomes were met successfully in this lesson. All students appeared to grasp the concept of what makes a successful team, and how they could fit into one.

Planning:
Adequate planning was undertaken but as noted in the lesson observation: “Maybe more printouts so the projector is not needed” in reference to the lack of clarity in a particular slide.

Management/Teaching Strategies:
With classroom management I felt I was consistent and fair in my approach. From lesson observation form: “Students warned about expectations and detentions set”.

Resources:
“Timer used to increase work pace”. This made a considerable difference to the work ethic of the students. Once the timer was displayed and I asked students to complete the work before a certain time, all students were keen to finish the task.

Period 4: Lead Teach, Year 10.

It’s exam season and because of this the usual ICT room I teach in was being used for the Functional Skills ICT assessment. Having been displaced to a regular classroom, it was telling that having back-up lessons is an essential tool.

Fortunately, a laptop was left attached to an interactive whiteboard and I was able to conduct a logo quiz with the students, which has links to the elements of the Unit 1 OCR in which they design their own logo. Educational value was questionable, but given the circumstances this was a bonus.

Final observation next week
