John Bayley visits Anna Clarke, head of modern languages at Grey Court School in Surrey, who is observing fast-track teacher Chris Rhodes.
As a fast-track teacher, Chris is heading for management within a couple of years, but in the meantime his confident, fast-paced teaching style is leaving some students behind.
Anna feels that he may benefit from introducing more independent learning with his top set Year 10 class. John Bayley advises Anna on how to effectively communicate her observations and thoughts on the lesson.
