The Sheffield College
Creative Learning Teams
- It was like wiping a window clean.
- It gave me the confidence to talk about what I haven’t achieved and what I want to achieve.
- Consider (lesson) timings more carefully and allow students a little more space to think before responding to questions.
- Consider desired impacts before establishing strategies.
- I was able to reflect on my current practice and now know areas to address. I thought it was a fantastic day
Perfecting Self-Assessment Writing
- Lateral thinking – back to purpose. This was excellent!
The RED System
- A really challenging, inspiring & enjoyable event, which will certainly impact my own practice. I hope the college moves forward with this as a whole.
- Enlightening.
- Eye opening. It helped me look at my teaching in a more objective way.
- Confidence building and motivational to embrace change.
Transformational Lesson Observation
- Thank you for enabling me to think differently.
- Jedi mind games. An excellent session, delivered really well.
- I felt v. engaged in the activities and informed by the process.
- (I need to) provide more of a coaching approach when feeding back to staff after a lesson observation.
- A thoroughly enjoyable and informative session. Thank you.
- Should be delivered to all teaching staff. I have learned from the session how to improve my practicals.
- A fun ride along a laminate floor – with no carpet burns!
- Will now coach staff rather than feedback.
- A phoenix rising from the flames of IQA, metamorphosed in observation process.
- Refreshing coaching skills. Will alter practice.
- I thought I knew how to give feedback.
- Inspirational.
- Made the process easier to understand. Should be extended to all colleagues.
- This approach to observation is exactly what the college needs as, if implemented across all departments, it should help to transform the culture of the college.
- Challenging – me/the system.
- Brilliant!
- Enlightening.
- I will approach this activity (observation) from a more supportive view and encourage tutors to be more proactive throughout the observation process.
- Taking the cork out of a bottle of fizz.
- A locked door opening.
- (I need to) Ensure staff critically evaluate their sessions with support from me.
- It was great – thank you!
- A Meerkat with a shopping trolley full of mealworms.
- Jumping in a stream and coming out refreshed.
Follow-up observation training
- Curiosity is the tool for fuel.
- Informative, positive and supportive, as well as being thought provoking.
- Realised that a focus on impact is vital and that observers need to change the way in which they observe.
- Super-duper.
- I feel I have clarity on the observation approach, and my ‘feedback’ will take a different approach.
- Curiosity educated the cat.
- Feel that what we have learnt in this session will have real impact, whereas a lot of other box-ticking doesn’t.
- Observe the impact rather than the strategy.
- Small changes can have large impacts.
- TSC (The Sheffield College) is a leopard that is changing its spots.
- Best CPD in ages, thank you.
- Practise makes permanent.
- At the foot of a new mountain. Fantastic training.
- I am at the other side of the carpet.
- Open windows.
- I will use the evaluative conversation method after observations.
- Eye opening.
- I am already using the questions (given at first session) – revolutionised my approach.
“Yes, we’re all individuals” Brian, 1979
- I came in to see what individuals were eating and stayed to feast.
- The higher-order questioning – a real eye-opener to my laziness.
- Very valuable, interesting and confirming.
- Many meercat moments, thanks.
- Some excellent strategies that I can take straight into the classroom.
- A journey to a place never visited before.
- Loved the Bloom’s bit – definitely need help here..
