status RT @ukedchat: #ukedchat with @dailydenouement starts in five minutes "Lesson observations: how do we get the most out of them?" @missbrownsword is it also about recognising 'greatness' in others & encouraging them to share what they do? #growing leaders #ukedchat #UKEdChat I'm going to attempt to take part tonight whilst being forced to watch Emmerdale and make sure the kids are settled! Wish me luck! @leeandrewdunn good luck! Hubby is putting my girls to bed tonight (thank goodness for #UKEdChat!) This could be the first #ukedchat I've actually managed to get involved with from the start! #UKEdChat likely to lurk tonight as its not my area at all this @dailydenouement is celebrating her birthday this evening, whilst hosting #ukedchat ! Go join her to discuss "Lesson observations" #UKEdChat is there a line between sharing practice thru observation & using it to create an evidence base as part of the schools QA process? & also listening to the #LFC game! RT @colport: @dailydenouement is celebrating her birthday this evening, whilst hosting #ukedchat ! Two minutes till #ukedchat starts: get your cuppa, brew or other beverage at the ready.... It's 8pm - time for #ukedchat with @dailydenouement "Lesson observations: how do we get the most out of them?" RT @ukedchat: #ukedchat with @dailydenouement starts in five minutes "Lesson observations: how do we get the most out of them?" We found lesson observations work best as part of a staff peer coaching #ukedchat rather than QA observations by senior staff #ukedchat RT @ukedchat: It's 8pm - time for #ukedchat with @dailydenouement "Lesson observations: how do we get the most out of them?" #ukedchat So tonight's topic is: lesson observations & how we can get the best out of them. First qu: do you enjoy being observed & why/not? would really like to take part in #ukedchat properly tonight think it'll be a good one, but have too much to do for tomorrow :( Is it coincidence that Tuesday's #edchat was about observations too? http://bit.ly/cvWMdL #ukedchat Lesson observations from teachers (for CPD) are different than observations by OFSTED (more critical) #ukedchat @cleverfiend #UkEdChat yeh I agree it's always best put that way - nothing worse than an expected 'crit' I'm fortunate enough to be a frequent observer of colleagues as part of my TLR & find it a great learning tool. #ukedchat @dailydenouement happy brthday! our sch is trialling pro forma where focus is 'what learning took place' not 'what did tchr do' #ukedchat Depending on who the observer is and the true purpose of an observation, can affect the CPD development post observation #ukedchat @colport i agree, but Ofsted observations are also CPD if the feedback is used well enough #ukedchat Yes, I chose poll topics. RT @dughall: Is it coincidence that Tuesday's #edchat was about observations too? http://bit.ly/cvWMdL #ukedchat @dailydenouement hate being observed... except by my own dept #ukedchat #UKEdChat by making sure the observer actually knows what they are looking for ie trained and able to give feedback @dailydenouement I usually enjoy being observed... sometimes like a giving a performance that you rise to... #ukedchat I think that comprehensive and helpful feedback is essential to making lesson obs feel worthwhile no matter who's doing them #ukedchat #ukedchat I have my final #NQT observation in two weeks with a difficult Y8 class.. Any behaviour management suggestions?? We try to get away from the 'official' observation and drop in to each others' classes on a reg basis #ukedchat Can anyone share a link to a positive classroom observation form to be shared? #ukedchat RT @ukedchat: It's 8pm - time for #ukedchat with @dailydenouement "Lesson observations: how do we get the most out of them?" @Mallrat_uk You're a week late LOL #ukedchat I think I must be a masochist: I love it. Enjoy getting feedback RT @john_at_muuua: hate being observed... except by my own dept #ukedchat @Iris_Connect I totaly agree with that point! #ukedchat #UKEdChat should observations be bi directional? NQT observing an experienced teacher and vice versa? Maybe a buddy process almost? I have always welcomed lesson observation. Found a different pair of eyes and constructive feedback incredibly helpful. #ukedchat Please remember to add the #ukedchat hash tag to your tweets for them to be archived that said, the best obs is when the observer treats the lesson as a student, not a teacher. no pre-knowledge.#ukedchat @dailydenouement don't fear obs, but don't enjoy it. It's essential in the same way as interviews, the dentist etc. Retrospective #ukedchat Yes! RT @dughall: I have always welcomed lesson observation. Found diff pair of eyes and constructive feedback incredibly helpful. #ukedchat RT @ukedchat: It's 8pm - time for #ukedchat with @dailydenouement "Lesson observations: how do we get the most out of them?" #ukedchat what is the purpose of observation? I firmly believe that this is the first question schools ask. RT @dughall: I have always welcomed lesson observation. Found a different pair of eyes and constructive feedback incredibly helpful. #ukedchat @colport Not a form, or link - we just have a chat over a cuppa at the end of each day / week / drop in #ukedchat @daviderogers It depends on the individual observing you. I have had both extremes, once very positive and supportive (1/2) #ukedchat RT @leeandrewdunn: #UKEdChat should observations be bi directional? NQT observing experienced teacher and vice versa? Maybe a buddy process? @dailydenouement Didn't think there was anything suspicious. I know it was a free vote :-) #ironic #edchat #ukedchat if observers enter with a pre-defined checklist of what they need to see it can automatically discard any teaching talent & magic. #ukedchat @Creativeedu #UkEdChat you've nailed it! I'm still waiting for feedback from an observation that happened three years ago :( lol RT @dughall: I have always welcomed lesson observation. Found a different pair of eyes and constructive feedback helpful. #ukedchat #UKEdChat don't see point of someone observing someone if they don't know what good looks like @colport if noone has one now I can put one up tomorrow for you #ukedchat @daviderogers and one who nit-picked on any little error (wasn't just me) #ukedchat (2/2) #ukedchat as an NQT I am used to being observed, don't mind as long as observer can give ideas how to improve not just tell me I need to! far too much observation is for form filling, not for the benefit of the observer/observed #ukedchat Do you sit down before your observation & decide what the focus is going to be or just hand observer your lesson plan & start? #ukedchat We ned to get away from the idea that an observation is one lesson observed at set intervals and linked to PM #ukedchat RT @leeandrewdunn: #UKEdChat should observations be bi directional? NQT observing an experienced teacher and vice versa? Maybe a buddy process alm Think it's important to remember that is as much a learning experience for the observer as the person being observed. #ukedchat Now I work for the LA it definitely feels different when I teach a lesson with observers! Much higher pressure! #ukedchat RT @Nevagonnabslim: #UKEdChat don't see point of someone observing someone if they don't know what good looks like @Creativeedu That would be good, sharing good practice through #ukedchat Yes, this is true RT @john_at_muuua: far too much observation is for form filling, not for the benefit of the observer/observed #ukedchat #ukedchat - rlly interested in ths topic . Observations - depends entirely on the point of the observation. is it 4 oberserver or observee? #ukedchat are schools trying to impose a certain type of practice or are they trying to identify strengths or weakness on a teachers style? @colport @Mallrat_uk absolutely, the conversation afterward is more important than the obs itself #ukedchat #ukedchat #ukedchat @Janshs Me too! Sharing examples would be good through the #ukedchat hash tag - will keep an eye open. Thank you @dughall I bet!! #ukedchat RT @Laura_987: Think it's important to remember that is as much a learning experience for observer as the person being observed. #ukedchat #UKEdChat every time I teach i get observed by a load of teachers and others, I am so used to it now, frequency is important. when observing lessons - note down no times children smile and teacher smiles - a diff way of looking at it #ukedchat What is an observation for? - PM, support, learning from others, trying new ideas, gaining new experiences, team teaching #ukedchat I have also cried after observations on 3 occasions 1 as a PGCE, twice in (separate) OFSTEDs High pressure/stress #ukedchat If you are not a school leader/inspector - Do you observe lessons to pick up ideas or practice? #ukedchat <~Should we use PPA time for this? #ukedchat observations can be evaluative or informative.

#UKEdChat today I did 5 hours with 5 adults watching me the whole time. We are too much in the 'teaching occurs behind closed doors' culture very important for staff to 'learn' how to observe and coach - impt skill for all which will only add to process #ukedchat Thurs night is really awkward for me to get online. Will have to arrange a date with #ukedchat one week. Maybe someone can fill me in? RT @Iris_Connect: if obs enter w/ a checklist of wht they need 2 C it cn automatically discard any teaching talent & magic.#ukedchat OFSTED? When observing, make a map of teacher movements or note down how much they talk and give as a % in feedback #ukedchat Mine doesn't teach ;-) RT @leeandrewdunn: #UKEdChat anyone ever asked to observe their Headteacher? @daviderogers The last lesson I observed for CPD was delivered by @timrylands & that was a while ago now :-( #ukedchat This book has some interesting ideas for when being oberved http://amzn.to/cgS5Jj #ukedchat #ukedchat It's important to remember that an observation isn't (or shouldn't be) a stick to beat you with #ukedchat the key focus of all obs is progress students make. Second to that will come other foci but these all support progress #ukedchat (as in fill me in with what I miss... not beat me up!) #UKEdChat if your teaching is always visible it will always aim to be high quality and you forget people are watching you - sort of @didactylos How was the leaning / dynamics of the classroom affected by having so many observers? #UKEdChat #UKEdChat We have regular Teach and Learn peer obs to share good practice. This week's focus is Outstanding Lazy lessons Fab!

May be more natural then? #ukedchat @BAFDiploma Could you explain the Teach & Learn peer obs a bit more? #ukedchat #ukedchat I quite often see one or two teachers in particular and always steal good ideas. @Nevagonnabslim so true. It's difficult to know what a good lesson looks like. Maybe pupils are the people best placed to decide. #ukedchat encourage student teachers to see a range of teachers teaching - should be same for all staff #ukedchat RT @dawnhallybone: very important for staff to 'learn' how to observe and coach - imp skill for all which will only add to process #ukedchat #ukedchat anyway that was just a flying visit! Gotta dash, let me know if anyone wants to fill me in?! (Not explaining again, see previous!) @dailydenouement It's always surprising - I asked a col to do to me I talked for 80% of the time! Doh! #ukedchat RT @dmchugh675: @Nevagonnabslim so true. It's difficult to know what a good lesson looks like. Maybe pupils are the people best placed to decide. #ukedch @daviderogers but not all CPD is good. #ukedchat @dailydenouement hate Ofsted inspections where kids seize up #ukedchat @Flyingstartedu You can always catch up with the #ukedchat archives at http://bit.ly/dAczkX or summaries at http://ukedchat.wordpress.com/ @DeputyHeadTeach Disagree... think this is OFSTED way of observing: too narrow and doesn't allow for all other important aspects. #ukedchat RT @dawnhallybone: encourage student teachers to see a range of teachers teaching - should be same for all staff #ukedchat <- YES!!! Is it always the same person who observes you? Do you ever get a chance to observe them? #ukedchat #ukedchat what about the observations to gather evidence of capability! I hate doing those! Anyone else experienced staff member who thought they were Outstanding and wouldn't listen until Ofsted said otherwise? #ukedchat RT @dawnhallybone: when observing lessons - note down no times children smile and teacher smiles - a diff way of looking at it #ukedchat RT @dawnhallybone: when observing lessons - note down no times children smile and teacher smiles - a diff way of looking at it #ukedchat @daviderogers I suppose it depends on what frame of mind you go into a session. I have learned from NQT ideas as well #ukedchat RT @dughall: I have always welcomed lesson observation. Found a different pair of eyes and constructive feedback incredibly helpful. #ukedchat I hate the focus on the 'lesson.' It needs to shift to the sequence of learning across many lessons. Obs more often? #ukedchat @jessward hence the argument that OFSTED should be embedded, part of the school not an external imposition #ukedchat @didactylos #UKEdChat agree - teaching is interactive process, accepted now that it is not single direction: excellent teaching is organic Ah! The tumbleweed moment... had some of them! RT @jessward: @dailydenouement hate Ofsted inspections where kids seize up #ukedchat @daviderogers #UKEDChat The aim is to see lessons where the pupils are doing the bulk of the work Really interested in the idea of 360 lesson obs, with teachers observing HODs and vice versa #ukedchat 1/2 #ukedchat best feedback I ever had was from a team taught buddy lesson. Supportive, co-operative, productive. @john_at_muuua I agree - but all CPD provides learning whether good or not :-) #ukedchat observing a lesson starts with making the observed feel comfortable, including the students #ukedchat #ukedchat purpose of observations need to be defined in advance. Is it for observee improvemet or observer improvement? But what if you went REALLY radical and had STUDENTS acting as the observers? Now THAT's student voice! #ukedchat 2/2 I tend to get very nervous before an obs and have therefore played safe. Only now am I starting to be a bit more 'adventurous'. #ukedchat @daviderogers I deliver to a group for the day, teachers/helpers come with them, watch & help & learn - a totally diff dynamic #UKEdChat school council observe with me and feedback - pupil voice and they are so accurate .....they know a good lesson when they see one! #ukedchat RT @Catriona_O: #ukedchat purpose of observations need to be defined in advance. Is it for observee improvemet or observer improvement? RT @john_at_muuua: observing a lesson starts with making the observed feel comfortable, including the students #ukedchat @colport For sure - we learn from our PGCE bods all the time - in fact , they are a great source of ideas #ukedchat @daviderogers ha ha! yes... we learn from their mistakes :-) #ukedchat @Mallrat_uk ask them how this allows for individual talents and personalities. it's like saying all kids learn the same way! #ukedchat @BAFDiploma Nice! #UKEDChat RT @tj007: I tend to get very nervous before an obs and have therefore played safe.Only now starting to be bit more 'adventurous'. #ukedchat RT @dawnhallybone: encourage student teachers to see a range of teachers teaching - should be same for all staff #ukedchat RT @john_at_muuua: observing a lesson starts with making the observed feel comfortable, including the students #ukedchat @tj007 and I bet your obs are a lot more positive now you're being more adventurous? #ukedchat RT @busykez: #ukedchat best feedback I ever had was from a team taught buddy lesson. Supportive, co-operative, productive. <---best way I spend much of my time being observed now and it never feels like Ofsted/monitoring observations but peer support. #ukedchat one HOD I worked with really made the process intimidating. THEM and US. worst case scenario. #ukedchat I do that just now “@Creativeedu: But what if you went REALLY radical and had STUDENTS acting as the observers? #ukedchat @creativeedu If u watch yr own lesson bck 5 x's you will identify different skills, talents, development areas each and every time #ukedchat I always negotiate my role when observing - support/judgement/ideas/team teach #ukedchat @john_at_muuua indeed! Or just think of something else ;-) #ukedchat RT @mbht1: school council observe with me & feedback - pupil voice and they are so accurate. Know a good lesson when they see one! #ukedchat How could we change the observation process: could technology play a part? Do any schools do filmed observations? #ukedchat #ukedchat - think about how it would be if we NEVER saw inside eachother's classrooms RT @colport: Lesson observations from teachers (for CPD) are different than observations by OFSTED (more critical) #ukedchat #UKEdChat observation must be about 'doing it even better next time' - the word even is crucial I try to spend time talking to the students in every obs I do - they know the score :-) #ukedchat @Nevagonnabslim some schools do that for teacher interviews. students observe the candidates. #ukedchat @Creativeedu #UkEdChat that's a great idea! Here's another: anyone been observed as part of an interview for a new job? Is it ok that as my answer is 'I'm not sure??' I sit back and listen to what you are all saying? #ukedchat hope to take on board discussions Although not an official observation, I do like that SLT pop in for a few minutes every so often to see the learning taking place. #ukedchat @dailydenouement we have iris in

@Nevagonnabslim Oh wow - and how does it go? #UKEdChat @dailydenouement #ukedchat T&L observations are just used to spread good practice where we choose somebody else to obs and be obs by. Yes, about improvement RT @didactylos: #UKEdChat observation must be about 'doing it even better next time' - the word even is crucial The dialogue post obsshould be an exchange of views an objective discussion, a dialogue that turns into an iterative relationship #ukedchat One of my big reasons for jumping ship was "monitoring" but sharing is great. We are all magpies as teachers. Steal shiny ideas! #ukedchat #UKEdChat observing and interacting and teaching - all one process - should not be confrontational or oppressive @Catriona_O horrible idea. Agree. but too often observations are used to control not support. #ukedchat Important for staff to observe each other in an informal supportive way - our teachers say this is the best CPD they have. #ukedchat Could you explain for the semi-luddite? Cheers! RT @Nevagonnabslim: @dailydenouement we have iris in classrooms #ukedchat #UKEdChat Who amongst us has ever taught in an 'observation room' (e.g. one with a one-way mirror)? @dailydenouement #ukedchat I got filmed on my PGCE, it was amazing how many times I said 'ok so....' When interviewing for a headship we always do an informal lesson obs + ask students opinion #UKEdChat @leeandrewdunn @tj007 That is a good point - they get a much better sense of what goes on. We need to move away from the one off 'Obs' #ukedchat RT @didactylos: #UKEdChat observation must be about 'doing it even better next time' - the word even is crucial @colport thanks very much for that! Only used 2 wearing @flyingstartmag hat, trying 2 get into routine of whens best to edutweet! #ukedchat would love to have enough TIME to do more mutual obs with a few chosen colleagues - but we have no framework for it #ukedchat @dailydenouement #ukedchat T&L obs are do not inform PM they are just a means of sharing ideas and prompting discussion. #ukedchat observations that R observer focused = CPD 4 the observer. Ones that R observee focussed + judgement & evaluation 4 the obervee Yes, v revealing process RT @Mallrat_uk: @dailydenouement #ukedchat I got filmed on my PGCE it was amazing how many times I said 'ok so....' RT @Mallrat_uk: @dailydenouement #ukedchat I got filmed on my PGCE, it was amazing how many times I said 'ok so....' >>>ol-not just me then! @Creativeedu Yes - i'm certainly more relaxed as it is hardly a change from the norm (whereas I used to change style massively) #ukedchat @Laura_987 even us little trainees have got a few good ideas, eh? #ukedchat #UKEdChat a shame BSF got ditched, a number of schools were keen on bigger learning areas that were team staffed - so much less isolated are observations difference for BTs? #ukedchat #ukedchat obs are essential for all , CPD, peer coaching and monitoring standards of teaching and learning if not there's little improvement @dailydenouement Filmed observations happened on my PGCE in Leeds 1990 I wasn't but my mate was. Really cringeful! #ukedchat We trialled video observations with some teachers last year - most critical observer is yourself. #ukedchat @colport and as it happens, Thurs are an ache, so I'll check that out at work tomorrow :) Thanks again #ukedchat @mallrat_uk #UKEdChat I flicked my hair back (got it cut after I saw the film!) @john_at_muuua what's a horrible idea? #ukedchat RT @JaneDavis13: RT @colport: Lesson observations from teachers (for CPD) are different toobservations by OFSTED (more critical) #ukedchat @Creativeedu #UkEdChat that's great I think it should happen more it's a bit patchy up here in Scotland and depends on the school RT @leeandrewdunn: #UKEdChat anyone ever asked to observe their Headteacher? Doing so next week as part of school monitoring period! @d1sxeyes For sure - I would say some of the best ideas around and a fresh perspective! #ukedchat I was filmed in my NQT year for an outstanding teacher course: it was hugely valuable once I got over the shame! #ukedchat RT @ATBespokeIT: "We are all magpies as teachers. Steal shiny ideas!" #ukedchat @Catriona_O sorry... the sotught of NEVER being observed, the idea of isolation. No one should teach alone. #ukedchat @dughall @dailydenouement yes... PGCE video obs.. horrid but useful! #ukedchat @d1sxeyes always found that, in mentoring PGCE students, I got more out of it than they did! #ukedchat Obs should empower teachers- Check this model of "#Self-Study" that includes teachers' Observation #ukedchat http://bit.ly/aMEKKj Once out of College I wasn't once observed for the next thirty years. Can't have been good for me or the children. #ukedchat #ukedchat iris - we use it ! Most love it! Videos and teacher uses headfones we can speak to them while wotching the lesson Would it be valuable to do cross-phase observations with primary/secondary colleagues? #ukedchat RT @trees2066: Important 4staff 2 observe each other in an informal supportive way - our teachers say this is the best CPD . #ukedchat RT @trudianns: @trees2066 how did staff take it? Would like to try it with my staff #ukedchat RT @dughall: RT @ATBespokeIT: "We are all magpies as teachers. Steal shiny ideas!" #ukedchat and steel shiny tweets! :-) #ukedchat I am starting an outstanding teacher course next week, expecting observations to be a big part of it.. Looking forward to it! #UKEdChat Team teaching is an excellent way of combining observation and increasing teaching energy in a lesson. Supportive rather than x RT @dughall: RT @ATBespokeIT: "We are all magpies as teachers. Steal shiny ideas!" #ukedchat >> for sure! Why reinvent the wheel? #ukedchat for those asking about iris http://www.enactnow.org/?page_id=6 @janeyk419 #UkEdChat don't make it too easy for them lol you must have a good HT I know many who wouldn't allow it to happen! I think even the most excrucuiating obs experience can be made positive if you learn something from it: FEEDBACK and FOLLOW UP #UKEdChat #UKEdChat are there other jobs done in private without being observed by others as they happen....... ok, you at the back stop sniggering! @john_at_muuua #ukedchat - totally agree. Isolation is the enemy of improvement ( Elmore) Too many good teachers teach in silos of excellece Except in assembly of course, where for 11 years I was closely scrutinised almost every day by the whole staff and often parents. #ukedchat @trudianns Some staff obviously not keen but others up for it. Trialled it with those who are keen for short periods. Useful! #ukedchat @Mallrat_uk #UkEdChat good luck :) Part of 1st assignment on national sen award is to team teach and observe one another on the inclusive classroom checklist #ukedchat sharing with our peers is the best CPD. #ukedchat @bellaale @d1sxeyes #ukedchat Yes I think the observer learns as much as the observed, not least about other people's subjects. Do you think enough time is spent on giving feedback after observations? Can often seem rushed as if the obs was end in itself #ukedchat #ukedchat I observe a LOT (am SLT) Best thing personally is how much I learn, good and bad. Steal ideas and see things I do and shouldn't!! @janeyk419 as HT I would welcome staff observing me #ukedchat #ukedchat sorry I mean as we watch the teacher teach we give them feedback thru headfones they are wearing to encourage improvement What do people think of those videos of sessions shown for CPD often favoured by National Strategy. Useful 'observation'? #ukedchat RT @john_at_muuua: sharing with our peers is the best CPD. #ukedchat Should senior managers need permission to observe those they manage? #ukedchat A narrow focus on progress in 30-60 min period is not the most effective way to judge a teacher's impact on children's learning #ukedchat Nah... #ukedchat is the best CPD ;-) RT @john_at_muuua: sharing with our peers is the best CPD. #ukedchat @john_at_muuua I don't think so #ukedchat @john_at_muuua Many would disagree though! #ukedchat @trees2066 I'll put the idea out and see what is said! #ukedchat @dughall Oh My Gods... worst fake x-factor teaching around. #ukedchat if have people in room not 'officially' observing e.g visitors/student teachers always ask what they enjoyed & how they would imp #ukedchat I worry that the presence of an observer changes classroom dynamic so much that the observation is invalidated. #ukedchat #UKEdChat what sounds more appropriate for the 21st Century? Lesson Observation, teaching observation, learning observation? Something else? @dailydenouement The feedback session must be timetabled and unhurried, or there's misunderstanding and worry. #ukedchat RT @trudianns: @janeyk419 as HT I would welcome staff observing me #ukedchat < Admire ur stance - need 2 put myself through it! #ukedchat not tried it yet, but we have pupils traind 2 obs something specific (we choose). Quite a few tchrs dont lk the idea of pupils obs #ukedchat #ukedchat I would prefer to learn by observing rather than being observed. Are obs really about CPD or power? @doughall I love them, we film and sell examples of outstanding practice http://bit.ly/cLjJxr <-shameless plug :-) #ukedchat RT @dailydenouement: Nah... #ukedchat is the best CPD ;-) sharing with our peers is the best CPD. #ukedchat I stand corrected! @caroljallen Agree about team/co-teachng #UKEdChat

@trudianns Let me know how it goes! #ukedchat What do you feel about unplanned drop-in learning walk type of observing? So not formal obs but still being visited. #ukedchat @d1sxeyes Always worth joining in with #ukedchat. Good experience. People don't mind that we are training, that's the nice thing. @tj007 should unqualified people observe us? #ukedchat @geraldhaigh1 #ukedchat Yes,I took 100s of assemblies too & certainly gets you used to being watched. Should it be part of teacher training? @dailydenouement agreed there's alway a danger in that - it MUST be a tool to drive continuous improvement #UkEdChat RT @geraldhaigh1: @dailydenouement The feedback session must be timetabled and unhurried, or there's misunderstanding and worry. #ukedchat #ukedchat best observations R focussed on 1 area LEARNING, eg questioning/ time spent teachertalking/ lesson starters. Not nec whole lesson As governors we are always told we have to make it clear we are NOT observing when we watch a lesson! #UKEdChat @dmchugh675 It all depends on how they are done - the convo after is most important #ukedchat @john_at_muuua Don't think so. I may have phrased it as a request, and negotiated a time, but there was no doubt I'd do it. #ukedchat I once suffered an OFSTED where the inspector last taught in 1960. I swear the local dustman would have been more insightful #ukedchat @geraldhaigh1 surely u were being observed by a very critical audience everyday? #ukedchat I love being observed - am basically a big show-off! #ukedchat [Like it? http://bit.ly/aPty4I ] @dailydenouement #UKEdChat if it happens all the time its just part of the ecosystem and fine, the sudden drop in - v threatening RT @SusanElkinJourn: I worry that the presence of an observer changes classroom dynamic so much that observation is invalidated. #ukedchat Should lesson obs continue to be part of teacher accountability? #ukedchat @Nevagonnabslim @john_at_muuua Hehe! Agreed then :-) #ukedchat RT @SusanElkinJourn: I worry that the presence of an observer changes classroom dynamic so much that the observation is invalidated. #ukedchat #ukedchat who is the best teacher in ur skool? Is it u? If so , wht do u do 2 share wht u do. If not, how does that tchr shre wht they do? Thought-provoking! RT @dmchugh675: #ukedchat I'd prefer to learn by observing rather than being observed. Are obs really about CPD or power? RT @john_at_muuua: I once suffered an OFSTED where the inspector last taught in 1960. I swear the local dustman would have been more insightful #ukedch @Creativeedu Should that be 'we are not judging you while we observe your lesson'? #UKEdChat @Creativeedu Don't think I understand the diff bet observing & watching, then #ukedchat @SusanElkinJourn I could not agree more. Particularly with a difficult class, particularly when the observer is the class teacher. #ukedchat @dmchugh675 Proactively approached by the teachers encouraging peer support and collaboration then definitely its about CPD. #ukedchat How do people feel about this? RT @tj007: not tried it yet, but we have pupils traind 2 obs something specific (we choose). #ukedchat RT @Catriona_O: #ukedchat best observations R focussed on 1 area LEARNING, eg questioning/ time spent teachertalking/ lesson starters. Not nec whole le not forgetting that we are observed daily by the ones that really matter - impt to get their feedback too #ukedchat @dailydenouement Manage expectations and way feedbcak provided (can use the "sandwich technique- Good/ Not so good/ Constructive) #ukedchat RT @bellaale: I love being observed - am basically a big show-off! #ukedchat [Like it? http://bit.ly/aPty4I ] < you star! :-) @dailydenouement I think learning walks are essential, see it as, should always give some sort of feedback though #ukedchat @geraldhaigh1 seen some people reject observations. Is that the fault of the person observing? (genuine question BTW) #ukedchat if a tree falls over in an un-observed lesson, does it make a difference to the class's learning? #ukedchat @john_at_muuua last Ofsted I went through we had students observers with them #ukedchat RT @Catriona_O: #ukedchat best observations R focussed on 1 area LEARNING, eg questioning/ time spent teachertalk/ lesson starters. <-agreed RT @dawnhallybone: not forgetting that we are observed daily by the ones that really matter - impt to get their feedback too #ukedchat @dailydenouement #UKEdChat after years in a special school with constant streams of visitors: multi prof; parents; vols etc just get on! Essentially governors are not allowed to pass judgement as many are untrained to do so and the unions don't like it! #UKEdChat #ukedchat Our strongest staff are coaches and work with all. I'm not bad on a good day but still will go to a coach to ask for advice! RT @dawnhallybone: not forgetting that we R observed daily by the ones that rlly matter - impt 2 get their feedback 2 #ukedchat >spot on! Love it! RT @bellaale: if a tree falls over in an un-observed lesson, does it make a difference to the class's learning? #ukedchat @dawnhallybone How do you go about collecting that feedback, do you just ask? #ukedchat @john_at_muuua I've been observed and judged by an OFSTED lay inspector who had *never* taught in his life. #ukedchat I don't make an effort in an observation (except ofsted/LA), if my HT wants to see me teach, come in anytime #ukedchat RT @Catriona_O: #ukedchat best observations R focussed on 1 area LEARNING, eg questioning/ time spent teachertalking/ lesson starters. Not nec whole le @caroljallen You took the tweet right out of my head re team teaching. Building trust thro support makes a +ve diff #ukedchat @john_at_muuua that was 'student observers'... tired tonight!!! #ukedchat @john_at_muuua If he'd really last taught in 1960 he'd have good insight into creative project work. And why the stab at dustmen? #ukedchat #ukedchat wot about this? My staff ask me to help with observations before they are observed. 3 went from 4 - 2 in a session seen by slt @dawnhallybone yes, we used this to help design our new proforma - learning evaluation rather than tchr observation #ukedchat @janeyk419 that's y I say we, teachers, shld observe as students. NO lesson plans or notes, but actually experience the lesson. #ukedchat Ok, some humour for my bday #ukedchat now! What's your worst ever lesson observation experience? Any tragi-comic moments to share? @GaryAveryICT we do through focus groups, co-constructing curriculum meetings and survey monkey #ukedchat @john_at_muuua I don't think it matters if unqualified observe, so long as the feedback is constructive and I'm able to improve #ukedchat RT @ianaddison: I don't make an effort in an observation (except ofsted/LA), if my HT wants to see me teach, come in anytime #ukedchat RT @dawnhallybone: not forgetting that we are observed daily by the ones that really matter #ukedchat <- great when they tell you enjoyed it #ukedchat now more ask me ! But they'd be clones! Can't be right wot do I do! #ukedchat we have trained students but so far just used for interviews for new staff. Very powerful feedback. Insightful beyond ticky list! @jowinchester @bellaale #ukedchat Think that was why I liked doing assemblies (and eventually wrote book of assembly ideas!) What are the key factors being observed? 1.Learning 2.Teaching 3.Beahviour?...discuss,,, #UKEdChat @GaryAveryICT yes :) good conversation to have #ukedchat Ask the Year 6 children to talk about which years they learned best in - it is almost certain to match with lesson obs gradings. #ukedchat RT @ianaddison if my HT wants to see me teach, come in anytime #ukedchat << I am a visible head who walks the school & pops in all classes;) #ukedchat we cnt escape isolationism if we dont share wht we do. Tchrs cn control the observation process by asking 2 C wht each other does @d1sxeyes Not to undermine teacher observed observer can say "I am here to learn" #ukedchat @dailydenouement the time head came in just as we were all 'worrying' about a large spider? (lesson obs humour) #ukedchat @dawnhallybone Quality #ukedchat tweets tonight Dawn! Dropping some real pearls of wisdom! :-) @jessward the students do need training. We must not forget that they ARE students and the experience must be real to them #ukedchat RT @CreativeSTAR: @caroljallen You took the tweet right out of my head re team teaching. Building trust thro support makes a +ve diff #ukedchat RT @dawnhallybone: not forgetting that we are observed daily by the ones that really matter - impt to get their feedback too #ukedchat @dailydenouement #UKEdChat Agree - my classroom = walk in, join in! Keep forgetting to add #ukedchat sorry... @tj007 pupils are more aware of the contrasts in styles and approaches used across a school than any teacher. #ukedchat #ukedchat Obs for CPD/school monitoring (ready for Ofsted - crucial). We need more opps for peer to peer. Time is issue! @tj007 but unqualified with power? Governors whose only real interest is their own child? #ukedchat Had 11 staff from one secondary watch me teach a 'difficult group' from their school, pressure much? Prefer to film best staff #ukedchat @dughall cheers may have to go before I run out :) #ukedchat worst lesson-as a student my tutor was 59mins late, i recapped plenary for his benefit and overran by 4min, he slammed my timemgmt #ukedchat @Creativeedu Indeed! and I think that he professional is too hung up on the word observation #ukedchat RT @dawnhallybone:not forgetting that we are observed daily by the ones that really matter - impt to get their feedbck 2 #ukedchat totally!! Getting confused with #ukedchat tonight - Everyone has changed their avatars! LOL #ukedchat peer observations take away that nervousness people can feel and make it a supportive process

#ukedchat and yes I did say 59mins late to an hour lesson. It was crazy @dailydenouement Nut allergy incident in OFSTED obs. #ukedchat #ukedchat My HOD once hid in the cupboard at the back of the room and started snoring during my lesson, I couldn't hear, kid cud, 20 mins @dmchugh675 As are TA's #ukedchat #ukedchat thr R greater differences in quality of teaching w/ schools than between schools. Surely colllegiate observations have a role hre? #UKEdChat what about observation as part of cooperative teaching? It would be easy to team up and observe a teacher in another country! @dailydenouement PGCE tutor had to take over my lesson :-( #ukedchat #UKEdChat just pondering, what would be the effect of asking kids to observe their lessons? RT @Smichael920: #ukedchat peer observations take away that nervousness people can feel and make it a supportive process Oh my! Any other lesson obs howlers folks? RT @dughall: @dailydenouement Nut allergy incident in OFSTED obs. #ukedchat @didactylos Have heard about this....I would love this form of feedback, as the pupils are what we do it for #ukedchat #ukedchat What about obs as part of selection process? Strange class, unknown school . . . .? #ukedchat #ukedchat What criteria are you observed against? Do you have an in-house criteria/programme or do you base it on Ofsted guidance? @Creativeedu Key factors observerd- add time and class management, interaction with students, ICT integration #ukedchat @ianaddison #UKEdChat I failed an Ofsted lesson as one boy had a fit, I attended to him, then 'wasted' more time explaining to the others @ianaddison worst as a PGCE was being hit by a about 20 paper aeroplanes when I turned to write on the board + my mentor was awol #ukedchat #ukedchat for us the key point in lesson obs is Student Progress. Have they made any? How do we/they know? A bit Ofsted but important... @dughall @dailydenouement Why wasn't class teacher there to take over? #ukedchat Has everyone had a chance to observe as well as be observed. Observing is great CPD too... #UKEdChat @bafdiploma Carry on Teaching eh? #UKEdChat @Creativeedu #UkEdChat every observation that I've done has had a specific focus eg lesson intro, interaction, use of IT, use of praise etc #ukedchat wotching lovely old teacher teach d&t and his falsies fell out when he shouted at a student!! Was awful to try not laugh! @SusanElkinJourn 'too much sunlight' failed an OFSTED obs. teacher didn't draw the blinds. #ukedchat lurking at first #ukedchat. Very interesting. Will have to go soon but as Arnie said a million yrs ago .... I'll be back @john_at_muuua u get it baby!! #ukedchat! @Creativeedu I work at a CLC with focus on raising attainment through media/ICT; perk of the job to be watched #ukedchat @dailydenouement depends on what the observation is for - if monitoring ofsted, if CPD what is chosen by teachers #ukedchat @didactylos @colport Some of mine offer feedback without asking - not sure how asking them for structured feedback would work #ukedchat @SusanElkinJourn Experienced that, my lesson was the one the kids enjoyed the most but I didn't get job (Kids feedback) #ukedchat @daviderogers Agreed! #ukedchat in ofsted obs there were 6 adults in room - child thought chief inspector was a secretary - as she was taking notes #ukedchat @janeyk419 But wht abt progress ovr the range of lessons? sum ppls dont get in in that 1 lesson, but light bulb moment the nxt #ukedchat @Laura_987 Class teacher used to regularly be 'off site' while I was class teaching his class. #dontask ... #ukedchat #ukedchat Worst ever (in Spec Meas Ofsted visit) staff member took VERY ill but kept teaching regardless. Collapsed at end. Priorities?! @BAFDiploma #ukedchat I need to show my husband this tag, he is currently doing a PGCE. He had his first nightmare lesson yesterday! @dawnhallybone 6 people - that is just nuts #ukedchat Do you feel pressure to put on a 'show' for observed lessons or do you just carry on regardless? #ukedchat @bevevans22 LOL - I suppose we always receive informal feedback from pupils just from their reactions to learning activities #ukedchat @daviderogers My HT wanted to come back the next day to rate the lesson. As she wanted to prove outstanding progress. #ukedchat @dailydenouement #ukedchat our school uses OFSTED criteria, at the moment that because we are awaiting 'the call'! Am I alone in thinking the Observed and the Observer should be a TEAM not enemies? Both working towards improvement? #UKEdChat @geraldhaigh1 does that crank up the intimidation? The relationship with the observed is tantamount. #ukedchat @AlisonCooperVA There will be more - I had one this week - but you bounce back #ukedchat RT @Nevagonnabslim: #ukedchat wotching lovely old teacher teach d&t and his falsies fell out. >> teeth presumably?!!! :)) RT @Creativeedu: Am I alone in thinking the Observed & the Observer shld B a TEAM not enemies? Both wrkn towards improvement? #UKEdChat @john_at_muuua I've found that governors often give great feedback after a lesson - although can see a potential prob with power #ukedchat @dughall OK I won't. I'll just say that's not fair on you! #ukedchat @Creativeedu totally agree. #ukedchat @dailydenouement I personally carry on as normal, as the feedback is more real to normal situations #ukedchat @GaryAveryICT Outstanding progress in two lessons? Good that she came back :-) #ukedchat #ukedchat Anyone have to model lessons for other teachers to observe & join in? Thoughts? @colport I love it when they say 'cool lesson'. I once had ' that was my best lesson ever!' from a Y6 child - great feedback :) #ukedchat @Laura_987 I survived to tell the tale! Have had a few outstandings since :-) #ukedchat @janeyk419 roflmao!! #ukedchat #ukedchat a collegiate approach to observations might just crack a few capacity-building bottlenecks....cont... @Creativeedu you're not alone! #UKEdChat @didactylos it's already done through some assessment for learning techniques such as KWL. Most important thing...did kids learn? #ukedchat #ukedchat @daviderogers for progress over time we look at data, books and talk to kids being observed. not perfect but gives a flavour. @didactylos That would be good. Some of my pupils might be a bit young for that mind you #ukedchat @daviderogers @AlisonCooperVA #ukedchat Always will be never worry about a bad lesson, just reflect and learn from it. What happens aftr obs feedbk? Does that become iterative or left until next obs? How do tchers capture effective feedback for dev #ukedchat observations are not one way. everyone enters a classroom with an agenda, and that must be open and clear, not hidden. #ukedchat @janeyk419 That's reassuring, but does is that other data taken in to account when feeding back during a lesson? #ukedchat @didactylos I can see that working with certain groups - very interesting idea. I shall ponder on that - thanks #ukedchat @dughall Clearly didn't do any lasting damage then ;) #ukedchat #ukedchat ---if we get a system for sharing the best of what we know WITHIN schools - loads of things might improve @janeyk419 good point... talk to the kids. they observe us every day #ukedchat RT @dailydenouement: Do you feel pressure to put on a 'show' for observed lessons or do you just carry on regardless? #ukedchat #ukedchat I have a 'suggestion box' on my desk, all pupils can put signed or anon comments about my lesson. In (cont) http://tl.gd/6qequk @john_at_muuua Yes, and people come into observations with their own experiences #ukedchat @bevevans22 #UKEdChat @colport not thought idea through at all, just floating it in the 'ether' RT @Iris_Connect:What happens aftr obs feedbk?Does become iterative or left until next obs? How do tchers capture effective fdbck #ukedchat RT @dailydenouement Do you feel pressure to put on a 'show' for obs lessons or do you just carry on? #ukedchat << always say I want realness The best feedback should both build on exisitng stregnths and identify areas for improvement #UKEdChat @Iris_Connect I ask to tape the feedback conversation #ukedchat @bevevans22 Wow, that is saying something when it comes from a Year 6 #ukedchat @dailydenouement always as normal - else false reactions from students #ukedchat sorry forgot hashtag #ukedchat The time a squirrel flew yes flew through window and I was asked to explain expletives to ESOL class (adult).. But still .. @Catriona_O drat! you read my mind. a system for sharing with our peers. #ukedchat @colport @Mallrat_uk A really simple idea..I love it.. Great for my trainee teacher too. #ukedchat @dailydenouement Our official obs are now based on the newer ofsted criteria (ofsted due this term) - previously on T&L strategy #ukedchat @john_at_muuua yes, and agreed in advance, and conducted by a group of volunteers who want to improve their own practice #ukedchat @CreativeSTAR Isn't modelling lessons what a teacher does when they mentor a student/trainee teacher. Can up the game. #ukedchat

@creativestar great idea, the best teaching resources is quite often located in their own school! #ukedchat @ATBespokeIT so true - nothing more horrible than someont LURKING with a clipboard #UKEdChat #UKEdChat bad initial lessons - once told class lesson would not start till they were quiet... 45 mins later l had not started and bell went @dailydenouement #ukedchat I think you should put on a show - it's a chance to shine and impress. Know where you're coming from though RT @dughall: @CreativeSTAR Isn't modelling lessons what a teacher does when they mentor a student/trainee teacher. #ukedchat #ukedchat Secondary: do you ever do cross-curricular observations? Primary: do you observe in other key stages? @simcloughlin @APrimaryNQT I've tried that and it backfires cos they expect you to do special lesson - so normal isn't good enough #ukedchat @daviderogers #ukedchat In formal obs we give data to the observer and expect them to talk with students. RT @damoward: Had 11 staff from one secondary watch me teach a 'difficult group' from their school, pressure much? Prefer to film best staff #ukedchat @colport exactly. first rule observations... 'why are we here?'#ukedchat RT @mallrat_uk: #ukedchat I have a 'suggestion box' on my desk, all pupils can put signed or anon comments about my lesson. In @didactylos Absolutely Matron, I have another 30 years to try and get it right! #ukedchat @Catriona_O then train next triangle #ukedchat @Mallrat_uk Thats a great idea! Brave too: I can imagine some of the things my students would write! #ukedchat RT @daviderogers: @Iris_Connect I ask to tape the feedback conversation <-- I like this idea #ukedchat @janeyk419 Nice! #ukedchat RT @lisacov19: RT @dailydenouement Do you feel pressure to put on a 'show' for obs lessons or do you just carry on? #ukedchat << always say I want realne @colport It was stop motion animation & a very hands on lesson that lasted all morning.

Thanks for the convo. @dawnhallybone It's ok - you can take the mick out of my tash at #ukief10 ! #ukedchat An amazing #ukedchat this evening. Great engaging chat - Just over 15 minutes remain #UKEdChat have your students asked why you're being watched? I always told mine the lesson before (that THEY wer being watched) lol kiddin #ukedchat Once had ofsted arrive when 4 kids were under tables because of a wasp @Nevagonnabslim often it's the reverse. people 'play it safe' in observations and leave the real teaching for the next day. #ukedchat @tj007 It's really useful for reflection afterwards. I also tape my LM meetings and Dept meetings - far easier than minutes #ukedchat #ukedchat observing a teacher demonstrating pe skills 'what am I doing wrong kids?' my dht leans over to me and whispers 'teaching' You can't beat a wasp for one of 'those' observations! ;-) #ukedchat @dailydenouement Our T&L Obs are encouraged to be cross-curricular as much as poss. Love seeing Chemists blowing themsleves up! #ukedchat RT @john_at_muuua of course! #ukedchat - the greatest diffs of quality of experience R within schls, not between them. >>Totally agree!! I'm mentoring a PGCE student for first time this term - any tips for their lesson observations? focus/feedback etc? #ukedchat #ukedchat in Scotland we've been pioneering Learning Rounds - teacher medical rounds. They totally rock! http://bit.ly/aB1Ti9 #UKEdChat I did say I'd just lurk in this one...... duh, lol. @dailydenouement #UkEdChat I'm secondary and no, not often but I would encourage it as part of rich diverse curriculum improvement @dughall I was once about to be obs when another teacher steered an ill child into my room, they threw up on the floor then left! #ukedchat @CreativeSTAR Yes, every teacher has something others could/should learn from. #ukedchat @dailydenouement Get them to observe as many others as possible, even at diff sch if possible #ukedchat Glad you didn't!RT @didactylos: #UKEdChat I did say I'd just lurk in this one...... duh, lol. @john_at_muuua #ukedchat I will be honest! say I'm not changing anything but then I pull out all the tricks! But can do cos class trained! Ofsted look for WHAT students are learning, HOW they are learning it & the RATE at which they are learning #UKEdChat @tj007 video&reflective annotations can work vy well, as u can visit each reflective comment toa point intime. Contextual learning #ukedchat @dailydenouement Get them 2 judge U using their obs criteria - usually leads 2 interesting conversations & breaks dn the barriers #ukedchat @KnikiDavies Excellent! Hysterical! #ukedchat #UKEdChat My favourite pointless feedback was 'there were 2 children in a slight blind-spot' as the only comment on a feedback sheet! @dailydenouement you've got to be honest but supportive. Make a fuss over their strengths but be clear about weaknesses too. #ukedchat @catriona_o #UKEdChat another idea is presenting case study to peers for group support on targets and methodologies @Nevagonnabslim I need to observe you then! :-) #ukedchat #ukedchat we observe yr groups together and give feedback together me in one class 30 mins cookware next class then swap. RT @ukedchat: An amazing #ukedchat this evening. Great engaging chat - Just over 15 minutes remain @KnikiDavies Classic! How much did you pay them to do that ;-) #ukedchat @dmchugh675 #ukedchat yep you def get some interesting things..'Miss that wo shit',or 'miss do you have to shout'! But you get nice ones to!

My worst obs moment was during OFSTED - I turned on IWB, pupils says "gosh, we've not used that for ages" - She was joking #ukedchat Yours? @dailydenouement I do feel pressure to show excellent use of technology in a lesson (as I'm seen as 'that type of person') #ukedchat RT @dailydenouement: I'm mentoring a PGCE student for first time - any tips for their lesson observations? focus/feedback etc? #ukedchat RT @colport: My worst obs moment was during OFSTED - I turned on IWB, pupils says "gosh, we've not used that for ages" - She was joking #ukedchat Your @dawnhallybone Sure am - sponsor my tash for Prostate Cancer Charities http://uk.movember.com/mospace/895840/ #ukief10 #ukedchat @john_at_muuua bring it on lol #ukedchat #ukedchat hello. Observers need to know context. 2 in my team last yr had external obs, and it was suggested we were pitching too low at.. #UKEdChat HMIe / LA QIO and school based observation - is there a clear distinction? Perhaps there shouldn't be one? Support or challenge? @KnikiDavies Nice :) Just what you wanted to happen!!!! #ukedchat @IRIS_Connect @daviderogers Makes perfect sense to record and annotate - I have a tablet PC with onenote, making the job easy! #ukedchat I once got negative feedback as I should have used a different colour board pen. As a geographer I should have been prepped :-) #ukedchat #ukedchat - obsevations R totally KEY 2 collegiality! why wld U want 2 keep genius 2 yourself? why wld u not want 2 C genius in action? #ukedchat Normal circumstances=scared of wasps. Ofsted in room=hit with a book and say "it's just a wasp". Move on. And breathe! @chris_1974 do you have moderation meetings for lesson obs? #UKEdChat @daviderogers It was just before observer arrived.Think I should have got a medal for carrying on!other teacher hugely apologetic! #ukedchat #ukedchat actually it was grade c/b students with sine and cosine rule - A/A* topics. Def not pitching low. Cleared up in conversation after @kekkelkekkel @Creativeedu She was joking, but the inspector noted it! LOL #ukedchat @dailydenouement Agree focus before hand. Have a 3 stars & wish approach to feedback. Relate feedback to focus. Be supportive. #ukedchat RT @janeyk419: #ukedchat Normal circumstances=scared of wasps. Ofsted in room=hit with a book and say "it's just a wasp". Move on. And breathe! @tj007 Nice! Which tablet out of interest? #ukedchat @KnikiDavies Medal def deserved! #ukedchat My best obs moment was final obs on GTP: "Miss always does great lessons" pipes up worst troublemaker as he passed my inspector! #ukedchat @BAFDiploma @daviderogers he was happy today as the same class were as good as gold #ukedchat @colport A week of OFSTED observations where I was never seen! not once.

@dailydenouement #ukedchat Do staff think it's valuable? Would love to find a forum to share these. Ours works but is far too detailed! @Creativeedu sometimes. 2 yrs ago I did joint obs with DH as part of my prof lrng. SLT did with joint obs w/ ofsted last yr #UKEdChat Does anyone get to observe in other schools? Sometimes you get locked into the ethos of your school. #ukedchat Worst obs was using 'My World'. Ch asked by insp. y hvnt U put it on the grey bit? 'Cos that's a road, dont U know anythng! #ukedchat @Nevagonnabslim love that lol and done similiar! #ukedchat If a lesson is not going very well, I often leave the room for a few mins then return. Often gives the tchr time to compose #ukedchat @daviderogers @Creativeedu not meetings as such. Would be quite interesting to. May suggest it. #UKEdChat #ukedchat look for learning. The last questions should be what's the teacher doing to help / hinder learning? @dailydenouement How much was the bribe ;-P #ukedchat @john_at_muuua Ooh, that sounds like mental torture #ukedchat Joint observations seem like a really important opportunity to learn and benchmark but = more intimidating for the observed? #UKEdChat @tj007 Yes. I'm similar re outdoor learning & being observed. I get asked to model OL by schools on subjects & themes chosen CTs #ukedchat @AlisonCooperVA Sweet! #ukedchat @Creativeedu #ukedchat learning is being observed.everything else is the scaffold to achieve this. @dailydenouement Behaviour man is really important @ the beginning. They need to show that they are 'comfortable' in the classroom #ukedchat To sum up in last 5 mins: why should we embrace lesson observations? #ukedchat @GaryAveryICT Really lucky that I get to teach in another school as part of the consortium arrangements for Diploma #ukedchat. New ethos @garyaveryict #UKEdChat I do and it is a privilege - I feel that I always learn more than I offer! I once had an EBD group throw pencil at inspector and all downed tools half way through lesson and that was that. How I cringed #ukedchat @dailydenouement we should only embrace them if they are there to support, not bash. #ukedchat #ukedchat during an obs ever whispered to a student I will make ur life a misery if you don't behave NOW! I have !! It worked! RT @dailydenouement: To sum up in last 5 mins: why should we embrace lesson observations? #ukedchat @daviderogers The infamous HP TouchSmart TX2 (reasonable battery, good size easy to use tablet, but runs hot enough to cook with!) #ukedchat @GaryAveryICT Yes I do and it's very interesting. I'm vvv lucky & appreciate this opportunity to see other schools & teachers #ukedchat #ukedchat - we seem to have reached a consensus where obs can be seen as either evaluative or informative. ( I prefer the latter!) @dailydenouement Well, I think the observers can get more out of it then the observed #ukedchat @dailydenouement #UKEdChat because teaching and learning are social activities, not to be hidden in closed rooms! Did a pupil pursuit for my #pgce the other week. Followed 1 child around for a whole day. Loved observing lessons outside my dept. #ukedchat Please can I encourage you to read my new daily digest of ed blogs & send me links http://bit.ly/8XXzEj #UKEdChat @GaryAveryICT Visiting other schools is one of the greatest joys and privileges of my job. #ukedchat I once took my HT along for the ride as I held an impromptu outside learning lesson when they wanted to obs #ukedchat @dailydenouement obs by AST... used 3 differentiated video clips (demos of me playing keyboard). Kids had to choose one vid as L.O #ukedchat Best obs was RE lesson where I used narrative to inspire kids. They were buzzing as they went out! Really brilliant feeling. #ukedchat If you have a good, positive example of a lesson observation sheet, please share it within the #ukedchat over the next few days. Thank you last 5 minutes already? I wish observations went this fast! #ukedchat @dailydenouement Embrace them as it is one of those rare moments that you have time to reflect on own practice #ukedchat #ukedchat best obs: my NQT mentor left to get head of physics in to see my lesson and how I had structured it. #UKEdChat we should embrace lesson observation as we all want to get better and its a good way of doing that - but its FOR US! @Catriona_O I agree with you but do think that there is a need and place for both #ukedchat When we have dept T&L Audit I tell team its chance ot show the best of what we always do. Don't do radically diff or kids notice! #ukedchat RT @dughall: @dailydenouement Agree focus before hand. Have a 3 stars & wish approach to feedback. Relate feedback to focus. Be supportive. #ukedchat #ukedchat Embrace because feedback from peers and kids is how we make ourselves better and learn from others. Share ideas. Get +ve crtitcism @colport yes. my dept had bn seen on a 'project ofsted' 6 months earlier 4 a week. It made sense but was bloody rude not 2 tell us #ukedchat anybody tried just self observations at all? #ukedchat #ukedchat Jumping in at the last min. Both observer & observee need 2 c obs as PD not just a jumping through hoops exercise. I don't like the stress but I am lucky that my feedback has really helped me improve my teaching. #ukedchat Observations that incl feedback are part of Life long learning RT @dailydenouement: why should we embrace lesson observations? #ukedchat @tj007 thats great become a really powerful development tool! #ukedchat @IRIS_Connect still have video tapes .. not viewed yet :) #ukedchat @Iris_Connect #ukedchat yea and cringed @dailydenouement >> when you made decisions. What would go through your mind in that situation etc. We choose our own focus. #ukedchat observations should not cause stress. they should be so natural that it's part of what we do, not confrontational. #ukedchat #ukedchat I always take risks in my obs, try stuff out - that way I will get truly honest/critical feedback. @garyaveryict why not? :) #ukedchat RT @didactylos: #UKEdChat we should embrace lesson observation as we all want to get better and its a good way of doing that - but its FOR US! #ukedchat Observations are good cos feedback helps us all feed forward Ha! RT @john_at_muuua: RT @dughall: RT @ATBespokeIT: "We are all magpies as teachers. Steal shiny ideas!" #ukedchat & shiny tweets! :-) bottom line is that the obs gives us a platform to learn from. If good ,can we replicate. If not, what can we improve #ukedchat RT @CreativeSTAR: #ukedchat Observations are good cos feedback helps us all feed forward #UKEdChat another brilliant one, that I didn't think I'd enjoy that much (daft assumption) but HIGNFY is about to start so time to sneak out @nevagonnabslim but now look at you! The best eyes to feedback on your teaching can be your own! :) #ukedchat @IRIS_Connect the camera adds pounds.. :) but I think I will #ukedchat RT @bevevans22: bottom line is that the obs gives us a platform to learn from. If good ,can we replicate. If not, what can we improve #ukedchat #UKEdChat thanks everyone - signing off... Treat every normal lesson as an observervation and every observation as a normal lesson... #UKEdChat #ukedchat my summary would be observations are as good as the observer! Thanks everyone for a brilliant #ukedchat - have lots of tips to take away in my mentor role this term. Great stuff! RT @Nevagonnabslim: #ukedchat my summary would be observations are as good as the observer! @Nevagonnabslim agreed #ukedchat Final thoughts for #ukedchat - 2 minutes remain (The archive is collected at 9.15) observe as a student, not as a teacher. #ukedchat #PGCE @garyaveryict :) pick your best side first :) You may well be surprised! #ukedchat RT @Creativeedu: Treat every normal lesson as an observervation and every observation as a normal lesson... #UKEdChat #ukedchat thanks for tonight people.. It's been a pleasure.
