Barbara is line managing Dominique Cook, an overseas teacher who is new to the school. Bayley assists Barbara in her observation of Dominique's Year 7 science lesson on reproduction.
Giving feedback, Barbara works on improving Dominique's explanatory skills and ability to introduce greater differentiation into lessons. Bayley's observation of Barbara's feedback style reveals an appreciation of her patient questioning techniques.
