Today is a day for observing other teachers teach. I love watching, trying to anticipate what deliberate decisions they will make, how they will take answers, how they will respond to the students’ ideas. I feel that it’s a privilege to be able to see! #EduTooter #EduToot #Teaching #Teachers #TeachingAndLearning
Absolutely a privilege. Seen lots of lessons lately (Food, Textiles, Physics, Latin, History, Geog this week). I love watching transitions, how clear those instructions are as we move from one phase to another, & expert teacher modelling has me in awe, and also thinking about how we can strive to know what each of the pupils have learnt. And then I really love watching the students as learners too, & asking them about what they are doing/thinking/learning.

Watching lessons is a major part of my role as a PGCE tutor. It has really reconnected me with the process. Sadly, classroom teachers, unless heads can afford to give them time, don't often have this privilege, which I think is a real pity because it's so developmental.
