Transforming School Culture through Lesson Observation
A Collective and Collaborative Approach
About This Book
This book sets out a three-stage programme for lesson observation showing how a collaborative whole-school approach can transform the culture of the staffroom and improve outcomes for pupils. Focusing on the emotional environment of the classroom, the relationships between teachers and pupils, and teaching and learning outcomes, it will enable schools to provide a consistent approach to lesson observation where good practice can be celebrated and shared.
Revealing the positive impact of the programme on pupils' engagement and exam results, co-operation between departments and teacher wellbeing, the book:
- Provides clear guidance on implementing the programme and adapting it for different contexts.
- Shows how data can be used for both Ofsted and Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection documentation.
- Adresses key issues such as culture, staff psychological contracts, the emotional environment of the school and leadership development.
If you are looking to make real impact within your school and bring about change for the better, the three-stage lesson observation programme is the tool for you. This innovative approach brings consistency, parity and fairness to lesson observation creating a secure and safe environment in which pupils can learn and teachers can teach.
