The Evaluative Conversation – Transformational Lesson Observation

  • As a quality nominee in attendance it was great to put myself in the observer/teacher role & how, as a college, we can make changes.
  • Light-bulb moment.
  • The idea of the learner leaving as a different person from session.
  • We need to review and amend the recording of observation processes as we currently focus on the ‘stuff’ not the ‘differences’ made.
  • Interesting, enjoyable, thoughtful.
  • A better understanding of the observation process and how it could be used. How staff could be made to feel more comfortable about the process.
  • How to start that conversation. Observer to do less talking.
  • How to question & structure the conversation. Techniques to follow – looking from both perspectives. Allow teacher to talk more.
  • Better choice of questions to allow teachers own feedback.
  • New way of discussing a lesson observation.
  • A positive change for the better.
  • Best practice guide.
  • Enjoyable session. Made me reflect on current practice.
  • Some reflection on learning teams & training on evaluative language & less ‘feedback’. Momentum of learning graph.
