Teach smarter. Learn better.
In lots of schools, observation feedback is no longer delivered in person. It's given by email, a shared tracker, or some kind of online platform. It makes sense in terms of saving time, but is it a good idea?
Short video section exploring it here - interested in your thoughts!
If you are still using this model:
Teach unit 1
Revision lesson
Exam on unit 1
Teach unit 2
Revision lesson
Exam on unit 2
Etc
End of year exam
...then you are setting students up to forget everything.
Do you use mini-whiteboards and want to learn some cool new tricks?
Are you not sure what all the fuss is about but interested in improving your practice?

Struggling to get into a routine with mini-whiteboards?
Join our upcoming webinar 'The Amazing Mini-Whiteboard and How to Use It' on 18th May at 4.15pm. @adamboxer1 will look at the whys and hows of mini-whiteboards: the greatest classroom tool ever invented!
Most teachers in this country are regularly observed as part of their professional development.
Two thirds of teachers do not think this has made a difference to their actual practice.
Teachers do not understand the feedback they receive. They do not agree with the feedback they receive. They do not feel willing or capable to implement the feedback they receive.
These things are facts, and they are both worrying and upsetting. And none of this is a secret. We all know it, we've all experienced it.
When we asked Carousel Teaching users what topics they wanted us to make courses on, the most common response was "how to observe lessons and give feedback."
@BenRiceTeach and I are now MAD EXCITED to announce our How To Observe a Lesson and Give Feedback course.
It's mega. We filmed a bunch of lessons, and we also filmed me observing those lessons. We deconstruct the science of observations, and the art of giving feedback. It's pretty damn innovative, and we're confident it will help teachers and leaders get better at these critical skills.
We will also be delivering a FREE webinar where we will look at some of the core strategies, do make sure to come along :)

In an emotional sense, being a safeguarding lead is surely the hardest job in a school.
In a workload and "juggling sheer number of things" sense, being a head of department is surely the hardest job in a school.
In a technical sense - I.e. actually being able to execute the thing you want to do - being a T&L or CPD lead is surely the hardest job in a school. So many things need to be worked out, thought through and strategised for. You have to be an expert in classroom practice, staff culture, policy construction, relentless communication, radical candour, negotiation, idea selling and much much more.
So let us help. Please.
Come see us tomorrow evening and I can show you how we can support you.
Please. Trust me!
