Watch a colleague for 15 to 20 minutes with a precise question about your target. Try another department.

0 of 8 stages done

What to do

1. Write your question, for example: "How does she get quiet learners to answer?"

2. Watch, and note the teacher's decisions as well as their actions.

3. Ask them to explain two decisions, and what they do when it does not work.

Short on time?

Fifteen minutes and one question is enough.

Quick win for your next lesson

Visit a different department. A technique you see in Construction might be the one that works in Health and Social Care.

Reflect

Pause for a few minutes. Short notes or bullet points are enough.

  • STOP:

    What did I notice?

  • THINK:

    Why might it work with my learners, and why might it not?

  • PLAN:

    What will I try?

Next step

Bring the idea to Stage 4 and build it into a plan.
