Teachers want to improve.Improving isn't always easy!Formal observations ≠ improvement.Written obs often fail to capture +/-s effectively.Slide5

Mike Cladingbowl, National Director, Schools. OFSTED - 2014
“... I am still concerned that ineffective and unnecessary lesson observation is going on in too many of our schools.”
“... a balance of support & measurement”
Professor Alan Tuckett, University of Wolverhampton - 2015Slide7
Aims
Increase ongoing, supportive, peer-led CPD & sharing of good practice.Change the mind-set throughout schools about the purpose of observation:
Encourage less "surveillance-style" observations;
Assessment FOR teaching not assessment OF teaching;
Enable more effective professional discussion - shifting discussion from describing to interpreting;
Improve classroom practice while reducing pressure & stress. Slide8
