Description

This course is aimed at those who want to introduce or enrich the value of Classroom Observation and conversations which are happening in their school. Regular observation and feedback on performance is one of the most powerful ways to build teacher practice and capacity across a school. This program will be of most use to schools who are able to send two or three key staff members who can work together to formulate as there will be planning time for implementation

What will this program cover?

This program will look at six models of classroom observation and provide opportunities for participants to reflect on which of these best suits their context. Participants will learn key skills and practices to build a shared understanding of what it looks like to get better at teaching using the Classroom Observation Profiles developed by AITSL. The program will also provide the opportunity to investigate the introduction of a collegiate cognitive coaching model. The program is designed around a series of workshops which involve developing understandings of practical strategies and useful resources in addition to furthering understandings of the change process and how to manage this in context.
