Lesson Observation Update

The first cycle of observation is complete.

Possible small adjustments to the statistics with the return visits.

This update aims to highlight what we are doing well, and which areas require development.

The next cycle will take place over the autumn and spring terms.

2011-2012 Performance Management Lesson Observation Analysis

Assessment and the work scrutiny

Assessment is a clear area for development.

•Often, less than good lessons, could not demonstrate progress over time; in other words, Assessment in the work scrutiny.

Assessment and planning

The slightly lower figure for Planning links to Assessment

and progress over time.

Consideration needs to be given to how far Assessment informs the Planning of the lesson and learning outcomes.

Priorities for Improvement

Priorities for improving the quality of teaching across TCS remain the same to those identified in June.

1. Assessment: progress over time and work

scrutiny

•CTLs and subject teams should aim to develop clearly standardised systems of marking and assessment.

Directory of Best Practice

CTLs and teachers should also use the ‘Directory of Best Practice’ to target strengths for observation across the subject teams.

The Directory will be completed for distribution by the end of September 2012.

Twilight CPD

• One of the twilight CPD sessions will focus on student led learning with particular emphasis on collaborative learning techniques.

• CTLs should discuss priorities with their team using the lesson feedback sheets, and encourage those who would benefit from the session, to attend.

3. Literacy and communication

Literacy and Communication will feature on the inset programme for 2012-13.

Literacy and Communication will feature on the back of the observation feedback sheet.

It will not be graded, but will become a crucial element of feedback and development.

CTLs and teaching staff should continue to consider how they are addressing this important issue.

4. SMSC

SMSC will feature on the observation feedback sheet in order to promote its importance.

It will not be graded, but will become a crucial element of feedback and development.

CTLs and teaching staff should continue to consider how this important issue is being addressed using the additional advice from the June inset for guidance.
