St 3 and 2: Lesson sequence used knowledge of student learning, appropriate content and incorporated a range of
teaching strategies. The lesson provided opportunities for incorporating inquiry, whole class teaching / discussion as well

as time for students to work individually.

assigned task.

3.4 Students had opportunities to work individually and to be involved in discussion with partners, also to work in books,
use IT / laptops to engage in learning and practice research skills. Activity provided interest and the opportunity for

students to work on differentiated tasks as appropriate. He provided particular focus when necessary with a student who

required additional support in a discreet way.

5.2 Joshua moved around the room - working with students on an individual basis, supporting and providing individual feedback
as required. This enabled him to ensure students were on track as he asked appropriate open ended questions and guided
learning.

The class was generally focused, with students engaged and appeared to be interested in the learning activity. Continual scanning
of the class occurred to monitor behaviour of all students. Behaviour management strategies were used appropriately and in
practical ways when needed.

professionally with colleagues and parents in appropriate and meaningful ways.

Clarity with instructions given - checking for questions and understanding.

Using peers to provide feedback to each other - and to check they are on track with learning intention and lesson
focus could be something to consider in a lesson such as this.
