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 us 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?
- Provide an example of when you adapted your teaching to ensure all pupils, including any with SEND or EAL, could fully access the learning.
Subject and curriculum
- Give an example of a common misconception you encountered during the planning or delivery of a lesson. What did you do to overcome this?
- With a focus on two different broader subject areas, discuss how you have used modelling to effectively support learning.
Assessment
- Explain how you have used information from assessments and observations of your focus children to set targets for their progress. What is your role in supporting children to make progress?
Professional behaviours
- Give an example of when observation and feedback has had a direct impact on improving your practice in a particular area of learning and teaching? What will you do next as a result?
