OBSERVATION
WHY VEO?
• Teachers want to improve.
• Improving isn't always easy!
• Formal observations ≠ improvement.
• Written obs often fail to capture +/-s effectively.
FORMAL PAPER VS PEER VEO
Time consuming Speeds up review time
Ineffective feedback mechanism;
Empirical evidence & data to support feedback
Minimal impactHigh impact (observer &
observed!)
Stressful Supportive
"Mentoring" or "Monitoring"?
Peer coaching / mentoring
Ineffective feedback mechanism
Focus feedback on key areas.
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 - 2015
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.
