    • Hi there - I am Anne Webster, and can help you with your initial teacher induction process.  I'm one of the members of the Teaching Excellence and Flexible Learning team.


      You can contact me Mon-Fri on 8300775 or anne.webster@wandw.ac.nz or send a public message on the forum "Got questions?" below. 


      When you've completed your teaching induction for new tutors, you'll receive a letter of acknowledgement. We will keep a record of your completion and you should too for your records.

    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.
