GPS Session 5 Session Observing learning Title Learning By the end of the session the trainees will be able: Outcomes To analyse effective learning. To develop skills of observation and feedback, distinguishing between seeing and observing To evaluate different approaches to observations Outline During this session trainees will: Session Consider why we need to observe Content Learn the techniques of different observational methods e.g. narrative observation Make links to the Standards and consider what Teachers’ observing learning may tell us Key Messages Observation can enable us to question our assumptions about learning children’s Focused observations gives more specific information; unstructured observations to out ‘find what’s going on’ Observation and reflection is about making us better teachers. It challenges habitual thinking we might have about some children and their potential - therefore raises our expectations, helps to make children progress Links to Teachers’ TS1, TS2, TS3, TS4, TS5, TS6, TS7, TS8 Standards
