A maths teacher's Year 8 lesson is assessed by top school inspector Clare Gillies, and advice for improvement given, in this pedagogy and CPD resource.
Clare's feedback on Simon Brilliant's patterns and sequences lesson highlights his need to encourage more pupil interactivity, making more appropriate use of classroom resources.
Simon visits communications coach Roger Terry for one-to-one CPD advice, working on his presentation skills, and meets Alison Clark-Wilson, a principal lecturer in maths, to work on pupil engagement.
He then has just three weeks back in the classroom at Hornsey School for Girls, to apply their advice before Clare returns to observe a second lesson and deliver her final verdict.
Will Simon improve his teaching sufficiently to impress Clare?
