Outstanding’ is the term Ofsted uses to describe the very best lessons. Teaching outstanding lessons is an aspiration all teachers share, not least because of the buzz they get from knowing that they have made a significant impact on their students. In highly successful lessons students are better motivated, engaged and interested. They make excellent progress and their attainment levels improve.
On this course you will learn how to teach ‘stunning lessons that will make an
impression on your pupils and knock the socks off your observers’. It will scotch some of the myths about what inspectors expect to see in a top-notch lesson, focusing instead on the reality. Topics will include:
developing good relationships with pupils and seeking student feedback
planning great lessons, including objectives, starters, activities and review
six steps to pupil independence
effective use of resources
expanding your repertoire of teaching techniques
communication skills
how to motivate students; using plenaries, group work, thinking skills and behaviour management techniques
The course is aimed at the individual teacher who seeks to become outstanding, but could also be also suitable for the school leader who wants essential tips and tools for making Teaching and Learning outstanding in their school or college.
