Phase 2 Talk-throughs

Weekly reflections should be written after the Talk-through has been completed

The Phase 2 Talk-throughs are:

High Expectations

  • Describe how you have used high expectations within the classroom to impact positively on behaviour management.
  • Describe a difficult/challenging situation relating to pupil behaviour that you feel you overcame. What did you learn from this experience?

Pedagogy

  • Talk through your understanding of the differences between working and long-term memory. Share an example from your planning and delivery of a lesson, where you have applied this knowledge.
  • Describe strategies you have observed and used in your own practice which promoted high quality talk. How did this support children’s learning?

Subject and curriculum

  • Give an example of a common misconception you noticed during a lesson. What did you do to address it?
  • With a focus on two different foundation subject areas, discuss how you have used modelling to effectively support learning.

Assessment

  • Talk through different types of feedback you have given to children and how they promoted pupil progress.

Professional behaviours

  • Give an example when feedback from an expert colleague has had a direct impact on improving your practice in a particular area of learning and teaching. What will you do next?
