    Small group discussion (15 mins)  
       
   

In your small groups

  • Many novice teachers appear to lack confidence when they begin to teach. Partly this is a matter of personality, as some speak up more readily than others. What strategies can mentors use to cater for different personalities?
  • When engaged in peer review, what strategies can be used when dealing with experienced teachers who either:
    1. lack confidence; or
    2. are over confident?
  
   
    Whole group sharing (30 mins)  
       
   

This feedback session provides an opportunity to consider, as a whole group, your responses to Video Sequences 1 and 2 , and Activities A and B.

Based on your small group discussions, what points would your group like to share with the whole group regarding pre-lesson conferencing? For example, what thoughts do you have about the timing of a pre-lesson conference and the kinds of advice and support that would be most helpful to the lesson teacher? How should we deal with the issue of personality?
