Developing Lesson Conferencing skills


		Small group discussion (30 mins)

		What skills did you notice the mentor using in helping the lesson teacher to reflect deeply about his lesson? Think carefully about the questions asked by the experienced teacher. What are her purposes in raising these particular questions? (Facilitators may now use the lesson analysis provided on the video, where the possible intentions behind the mentor’s questions are provided. This can be used to further analyse the lesson conference, digging deeper into what was actually occurring. ) Think of conferencing skills that you may have used in the past, which would be useful and helpful in stimulating the lesson teachers' reflection?
