Independent learning in English
Description
John Bayley works with Head of English, Stephen Black, who is line-managing Vanessa Ansa in her second year of teaching. John and Stephen observe Vanessa taking a year 10 GCSE class, where she encourages the boys to write a piece of original coursework. However, the independent learning strategies she employs fail to engage nearly half the class. In the lesson feedback John Bayley challenges Stephen and Vanessa to use more explicit guidance on how the boys should be helped to learn independently. But John is surprised to find they're reluctant to take up his suggestion.
