Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Mr Barton Maths Podcast, with me Craig Barton.
This time around I spoke to science teacher and author, Adam Boxer.
We discussed Adam’s process for observing lessons, giving feedback and coaching teachers.
We discussed the following, and plenty more:
- What were Adam’s early experiences both being observed and observing others?
- How does Adam now observe and give feedback?
- Can non-specialists observe as well as subject specialists?
Whatever your style of teaching, experience or subject, I think you will get a lot out of this conversation.
Useful time-stamps:
- What did Adam’s lesson observations used to look like? (10:55)
- What does Adam do before observing a lesson? (41:48)
- What does Adam do in the lesson he is observing? (54:45)
- What does Adam do between the lesson and the feedback session? (1:25:18)
- What does the feedback session look like? (1:27:48)
- How does this fit into a coaching cycle? (1:49:38)
- Should non subject specialists observe lessons? (1:58:09)
- Adam discusses Caroseul and his secret project (2:05:41)
- My takeaway (2:0957)
