Observations

Teachers will have a full lesson observation near the beginning of their time with ANGLO with the possibility of a drop-in observation later in the course.

Full Observations

Procedure

1. TM produces a Lesson Observation Rota at least 3 days before the first full observation and makes it available to the all teaching staff.

2. TM organises a pre-observation team meeting to briefly discuss the observation checklist. Teachers can suggest areas of their teaching on which they would like specific feedback. 

3. The obversations take place.

4. TM writes up the observation feedback report. 

5. TM follows up the observation with a brief discussion with the teacher within two working days from the observation, then completes and emails a final Teacher Observation Report to teacher and HO within 5 working days.

Observation Checklist

An ANGLO Teacher Observation Checklist is completed by the TM for each full observation.

Drop-in Observations

Drop-in observations are informal lesson observations. They last around 15 minutes and are held at the earliest opportunity in order to identify any potential issues with teaching or classrooms. Drop-in observations take place whenever the TM deems them necessary but- the TM tells teachers in advance.advance that a drop-in observation is happening.
After a drop-in observation the TM may direct teachers to the Teacher Knowledge Bank if further support is required.
