Do learners understand what they are learning and why?
Are all learning needs being met (e.g. SEN)?
Has the lesson been differentiated for various levels or
abilities?
Is there clear integration of English and maths?
Is there a variety of teaching and learning strategies
used throughout?
Does the pace of the lesson meet all needs?
How do you differentiate for students of all ages?
How do you support varying learner abilities within your
group?
Is it inclusive;? i.e. are there references to different ages,
genders, culture and faith etc, in your lessons &
handouts?
Do you use technology that some learners may not be
familiar with? How will you support this?
Do you have an element of ‘challenge’ or ‘opportunity’
within your teaching resources that takes your learners
out of their comfort zone? i.e. discussion or debate?
Do you use current news articles, sports events, music
influences?
Are the resources used current, sufficient, reliable, valid,
accessible and reflect the construct of the group and the
wider community?
Has there been a variety of assessment methods used
throughout the lesson?
Have you provided feedback that stretches and
challenges learners?
