Professional teaching skills and ability: Communication, voice, terminology, personal qualities & pupils’ responses.
Warm approach in the class, she has a relationship with the students, they respect when she’s talking and listen to each other in the class. Strict classroom, no talking out of place
Classroom management: Pupil activity, pupil behaviour.
There is no issues with pupil behaviour in the classroom, the students all answer the questions when called upon and raise their hands
Presentation of learning content: Delivery of lesson, use of resources, visual aids, support studies.
Recap on new words they learnt - new verbs and sayings to help their answers
Read through their copies to revise what they have learnt yesterday
Close the copies - she speaks in English and the students then raise their hands to translate
She calls on students to answer the questions, she then repeats to get the correct pronunciation. Tests their vocabulary all the time and asks the students to repeat the phases from the start of the class. Recapped on the notes and now they are writing the ending of the story - asking the students how to say the irish translation. Highlighting the key/new words from the summary - Add translations
Effectiveness of planning: Clarity of intentions, quality of learning content, presentation.
It seems the students have great knowledge of the work but the continuous questioning and making sure she gets to every student in the class by marking them on the roll.
