6. Observation of your class session

  • 6. Observation of your class session


    TASK

    1. Contact Anne to arrange a time for her to come and observe your session for one hour. 

    Alternatively, contact your SASM or mentor to observe you. Make sure your mentor uses the same observation form that you used to observe two colleagues.

    2. Prepare a lesson using the lesson plan form. Try to include a warm-up activity, a making sense (doing) activity and a quick feedback activity. These can be from the activities listed in Unit 3 What is active learning?  or your own choices.

    3. Try and weave in an explicit literacy task (reading, writing, speaking or listening) or an explicit numeracy task (number, spatial or measurement).

    4. Carry out your observed session.  Make sure you give Anne your lesson plan AND your graduate profile before she comes to your session.   If possible, meet with Anne or your mentor after the session to discuss the comments on your feedback form.

    5. Save a copy of the observation feedback form in your new tutor induction folder.
