I thought this was a really useful visual guide to share for staff. It provides a really handy checklist of things to look for, alongside areas to feedback on, during classroom observations.
Key areas of focus –
- Use of Time
- Strategic Questioning
- Student Movement
- Material Management
- Checking for understanding
- Participation Strategies
- Pace of lesson
- Clarity of Presentation
- Suitable Differentiation
- Classroom Arrangement
- Student Engagement
