Teaching and Learning
Alien Autopsy
It’s not coaching that will make you better...
It’s high quality coaching......
Group work......
Is it working the way I think it is?
If you’re doing peer mentoring....
Get a good look at the quality
“The main driver of the variance in student learning at school is the quality of the teachers.”
“If a student has a poor teacher for one year they may cope.If they have a poor teacher for two years they will fall behind.If the student has a poor teacher for three years they will never catch up.”
I see my role as providing on the job training in real life settings. I help adults to learn.
How not to do it!

How to do it!

properly• Have a booking system
Frances Steel: Teach First Teacher
“IRIS gave me a unique opportunity to observe myself and formed an important part of my learning process through self assessment. It gave me the chance to think about my presence, habits and traits and see them through my own eyes rather than through the eyes of others.
I noticed I said ‘wonderful, well done’ and ‘excellent’ a lot and I fiddle with my hair. Not things I would want to change!
It was wonderful to see the kids from a different angle, I could sit and watch them close up and see who did what. I could be disengaged from the teaching process and see learning in another way.”
Sayera RahmanNQT
“I watched my lesson with my mentor. It was brilliant because I was able to see for myself exactly what he was talking about. At the moment I turned round we could pin point my action and discuss in detail what I might do differently. Going through the lesson together allowed me to reflect on my teaching and I was able to see it.”
My dream is that.....
IRIS goes wireless and P.E. has the opportunity to have this too!
