Birmingham Metropolitan College
- It made me think more about what I was doing and it was interesting to see some of the mistakes I make happen in others’ practice (offering direct early advice rather than coaching) and what I could do to combat this.
- Good to see my fellow colleagues teach a similar topic and the different ways we all do it. Much more friendly approach to observations and more learning occurred.
- I found that seeing the other staff’s good practice has enabled me to understand the use of different teaching strategies and their effect on students.
East Coast College
- Creative, collaborative and inspiring.
- I have a greater understanding of my own methodology through the eyes of experienced peers – this means a lot to me.
- Great to receive such a wide range of ‘steals’ from other teachers.
- It gave me a completely different perspective. I loved the idea of making students curious.
- Thank you. I feel enriched.
Leeds Arts University
- The observation of others’ techniques when working on similar goals. The recording of the session raised issues in my ‘unconscious’ questioning techniques I hadn’t previously been aware of.
- Observing everyone’s sessions under this system allowed for an unexpected and valuable new reading of what was seen. It also has made me reconsider how I encourage students’ engagement.
- Excited leap forward.
- The observation process is much more thorough and professionally relevant than a ‘grading’ system.
The Sheffield College
- 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
Workforce Training (NI)
- Door-opening experience.
- Use questions to encourage own learning. Don’t ‘direct’ feedback.
- I will try to use coaching and prompting more in my lessons.
- Picked up some really good teaching methods from the other tutors. Found it really interesting and challenging.
- Saw things I would never have looked for in my lessons.
- A very worthwhile exercise which can only improve the learning impact of the organisation.
West Cheshire College
- Filled me with inspiration, helped me get out of a rut.
- Can’t wait to deliver the next lesson.
- Difficult at first, but the pieces of the puzzle eventually dropped into place.
- Assessing impact and observing teachers in other areas was invaluable.
- Made me look at each section of teaching and how it impacts on each learner.
- (Must) consider impact more fully when writing learning outcomes and planning sessions.
