Sometimes the enthusiastic response and active
participation shown by some pupils can mislead
a teacher into believing that the lesson has
gone well, when, in fact, only a small number
of pupils responded and she/he has provided the
main answers to the questions posed in the lesson.
This is a subtle but important issue to consider
when conducting post-lesson conferences.
In small groups discuss your responses to the
video, in particular:
- the flow and pace of the lesson and the
participation and response of the pupils. Consider
whether these can be used as reliable indicators
that all pupils are learning.
Then, share your ideas and experience on:
- effective ways to evaluate whether pupils
have actually gained an understanding of the
subject matter during a lesson, and
- how best to raise this issue in the post-lesson
conference.
