  Small group discussion (20 mins)  
   

In your small groups, imagine you are going to conduct a post-lesson conference with this novice teacher. He has been given a textbook topic to teach, and he has made the lesson interesting for the pupils.

  • In the post-lesson conference, how will you go about raising the issue of whether the content of this lesson is educationally worthwhile?
  • What points will you make about what makes learning worthwhile?
  • What advice would you give to novice teachers on how to use textbooks imaginatively and with professional judgement?

Each small group can try to identify the five main issues they will raise in response to these three questions.

 
       
  Whole group sharing (20 mins)  
   

Use a flip chart or OHT to make a checklist of all the main issues that have emerged so far from you discussions regarding pupil learning. These issues will be among those you will want to include in pre and post-lesson conferences when discussing pupil learning. They will also help in the role play exercise that follows.
