Expectation

Learning Intentions and Success Criteria – every lesson

▫ Up on board, explained/discussed ▫ Success criteria are referred to

throughout the lesson as they are achieved and at end of lesson

▫ Success criteria should be measurable by the students, so that they can decide for themselves how they have gone.

What I saw Up on the board and discussed nearer the end of the lesson.

My Comments Good but a stronger start would be to introduce the LI at the beginning of the lesson. 😄

3 Storey Intellect – every lesson ▫ Talk about the level of thinking

required in the activities you get the students to do

▫ Metacognition/meta-learning, Relate the level of thinking to:

▫ How hard it feels to do the activity (how much they are thinking)

▫ How much they are learning (learning more as they are thinking more)

▫ Achieved (= gathering), Merit (= processing) & Excellence (applying) levels of achievement

You explained the level of thinking required for classifying and evaluating.

Nicely done 😄

Graphic Organisers – as relevant Used to order student’s thinking and to push the level of thinking done by a student to a higher level. The organisers we’re concentrating on are:

▫ Describe (gathering level)

▫ Compare and Contrast (Processing)

▫ Evaluate (applying) You can of course use any of the other graphic organisers. Some apps could be considered to be graphic organisers.

The class play Kahoot. ⭐ Great to see this in action! Remember to discuss the level of thinking needed to complete this quiz.

Manaaki – as relevant but most lessons Respect for yourself, others and the environment. This can take many forms and pops up often. Use the word Manaaki.

Not discussed. ⭐ Remember to discuss this when you are reminding the class to be quiet. The kids that are trying to work will appreciate this.

Quality of your feedback/feedforward – as often as possible Put your energy into this. Try to structure your lessons so that you are able to give quality feedback and guidance on how to improve (feedforward) to your students. These means structuring the lesson activities so that you are not up front the whole time and so are free to move about the room giving feedback. You could encourage able kids in the class to help other kids by pairing up with someone who needs a bit of help, kids will often do this informally. This will also take the pressure off your time moving about around the class.

While the class are doing the quiz you roam the room and encourage and praise the students.

Well done!

Lesson Structure – always The lesson should be filled with purpose and have no ‘dead’ time. For example, when you are doing the roll, the kids have something to work on, transitions between different phases of the lesson are seamless. There should be a clear beginning, middle and end to your lesson! Beginning: review/starter activity/introduction (some of these) + discuss learning intentions and success criteria Middle: this is the main body of the lesson. End: review what has been achieved, refer to success criteria and learning intentions.

Beginning 1. You remind the class

of the seating plan. 2. The class are given

pieces of paper and then complete a 'do now' activity. The class share their answers.

3. A student collects the pieces of paper.

Middle 1. The class are asked to

read for 5 minutes while you do the roll. You project a timer so everyone can see how much time they have. The class are a bit chatty to start with.

2. The class play Kahoot after you have explained the name rule.

3. You ask for the classes attention And congratulate the winner.

4. The class answer questions in their workbook. You remind them to keep the noise level down or else they will work in silence.

5. You ask the class for quiet and then read a list of students who haven't sent their homework.

End

Beginning 1. A fun way to start the class. Middle 1. ⭐ Restart the timer

every time that someone talks so they get the message that you expect total silence.

2. The class really enjoy the quiz and it's a great way of reinforcing the knowledge from the reading 😀

3. ⭐ Remember to ask them to close their devices also.

5. ⭐ Write their names on the board and rub them off as you receive the work. This will avoid having to ask for attention and interrupting the class working. End
