Description

Despite the importance of getting feedback from pupils, either on an individual lesson or general teaching style, in the hurly-burly of school life it can prove difficult. This programme sees a panel of six Year 9 pupils review a lesson on algrebraic equations delivered by maths teacher, Angela Grayel. Angela's been a teacher for eleven years and she welcomes the opportunity the Pupil Panel represents but confesses that such close scrutiny from her customers is nerve-wracking. The whole class gets to vote on both enjoyment and understanding of the lesson before the Panel goes into private session to record their honest opinions on video, which Angela watches later. It's a challenging lesson for top set pupils and Angela knows she's put herself, and her teaching, on the line. The pupils deliver interesting and constructive comments and after reviewing the tape Angela decides on a number of adjustments to her teaching style.
