Our first meeting of 2013

Cell comprises five colleagues from Humanities, Technology and LO depts. We reflected on what had been positive about last year's experience of planning a chosen lesson together, observing the lesson and then taking part in feedback and discussion of the lesson observed. The bare bones of Shayer methodology for a lesson structure were incorporated into these sessions by most. Attention to detail in a lesson plan in terms of content, soft skills, transitions, beginning and ending were a useful focus, particularly as and when it focused on differentiation. Next week, we'll begin to look together at a Gr12 Geography lesson on Climatology and planetary wind systems.
