Focus on the lesson objectives
Description
Straight-talking teaching consultant Philip Beadle, puts English NQT and former TA Gemma Sharp through her paces as she teaches KS3 poetry at Kimberley School in Nottingham.Gemma is convinced her Year 9 fourth set have huge potential but is frustrated they are not more engaged. In this engrossing film, Beadle puts the spotlight on Gemma's teaching technique, with a strong emphasis on the key concepts - rhyme and half-rhyme - that Gemma is trying to convey. Beadle believes that every teacher needs to be clear from the outset about the specific purpose of each lesson, what they should expect students to have learnt at its conclusion and whether that learning has actually taken place. He tells Gemma that there should be no limit to a teacher's expectations. You should think every kid I ever teach can understand every concept in the curriculum, and if they don't, it's my fault. Armed with these thoughts she will continue to develop into an excellent teacher.
