Pupils to answer questions

LESSON EVALUATION To what extent were the learning outcomes achieved? How do you know? The learning outcomes were achieved by most of the pupils in the lesson. This was evident through the work that was produced and printed for their files and the questioning at the end of the lesson. The questions on the sheet that required the online presentation were answered by all and every pupil then moved onto the extension task. Consider aspects such as resources, activities, pace, timing, assessment: a) Why were particular features of the lesson the most successful? The lesson seemed to be enjoyed by all the pupils who were obviously engaged – even to the extent that they were not distracted by visitors to the classroom. The work was interesting at the topic was something that find fun. The notes section at the beginning of the lesson was still using ICT, so all the pupils were hands-on very quickly. b) Why were particular features of the lesson the least successful? There was not quite enough work, as every pupil managed to get onto the extension task. Now I know how much work the group can do (this was the first lesson I had with this top set) I can plan to include slightly more in the lesson. Targets for the teacher: Achieved: Kept the lesson objectives on display for the whole lesson. Showed a difference between the lesson outcomes and the lesson objectives New: Have more work available. Although this lesson went well, I need to be aware when teaching a top set who are interested that they are likely to get through the work much more quickly

LESSON EVALUATION The central question to all teaching must be: "How much learning has taken place?" In your self-evaluation of each lesson provide the answer to the above question by referring to the following aspects as relevant: 1. How many of the learning outcomes stated for this lesson have been achieved by all, most or only a few pupils? 2. How do you know that the objectives were achieved? (a) through regular monitoring of pupils' activities and involvement during the lesson: - moving around the classroom checking pupils' written and oral work (role plays) - question-answer (pupil-teacher interaction) (b) through assessment (formal, informal, continuous, summative), including peer assessment as and when appropriate: - end of unit tests, exams - homework - games, interactive communicative activities - project work (display, presentation, survey) - key skills (ICT, numeracy, literacy) (c) through pupils' feedback 3. In what areas was learning supposed to take place? (a) NC attainment targets (b)National Strategy Key skills For ICT explain your rationale for using or not using a particular medium and evaluate your course of action 4. In what way and to what extent did the following aspects of your planning and teaching facilitate or hinder learning taking place? (a) Time management and content of lesson (Did you do everything you intended to do? Too much? Too little?) (b) Appropriateness of material in terms of quality and level of difficulty. - Were the activities and resources stimulating and motivating? - Were the strategies used effective in engaging the pupils' interest and maintaining discipline? (c) Class management and discipline (d) Progression (too fast, took things for granted) (e) Differentiation (by task, by support, by expectation/outcome, by resources) Planning The Reflective Cycle
