Competency Area E G S M US
-‐ Shared LO, used good questioning to unpick LO. All children understood.
-‐ Good use of praise to manage behavior.
-‐ Good use of thinking time and peer support during Think, Pair, Share activity which
also gave them time to revise prior knowledge and make links with previous learning.
-‐ Good that the children were made to repeat the key vocabulary (exclamation mark)
back to you so that they were secure with exactly what kind of vocabulary you were
expecting them to use in the lesson.
-‐ Better behavior for learning management when on the mat. More children were on task
and paying attention for the majority of the input.
-‐ Good use of the primary feedback code in resources which the children recognized and
responded well to.
Areas
for
development:
-‐ Timing still an issue. In a school where specialist subjects are taught by other teachers
you must be ready to complete your plenary and have your lesson finished and packed
away according to the time table.
-‐ Teacher should demonstrate excellent subject knowledge. Good that you asked the
children to list ‘question words’ to start questions, but there is no such thing as
‘exclamation words’. Told children that we cannot start a sentence with ‘wonderful’ or
‘amazing’, but they can so this potentially causes misconceptions in future lessons.
-‐ Teacher should constantly model the expectation. Poster told the children they should
always use finger spaces – but there were finger spaces missing between words on the
poster.
-‐ Explained the concept of when to use . ? ! very well however that wasn’t a single
modeled example of when to use these in a sentence. Did this orally with the children,
but they need to see at least one written example of the board of when to use . ? ! Even
HA children struggle with this at first because of the lack of modeling.
-‐ Independent activities should be modeled to all children on the mat before they go to
their tables. It is worthwhile them seeing these tasks even if they won’t do it as it can
further develop their understanding. Also, too much time spent at the desk with nothing
to do while waiting for you to explain what each group should be doing.
-‐ To further differentiate between the MA and HA chn there could’ve been examples or
even sentence starter word mats on MA table to give them a little stimulus for writing
their own sentences.
