Making Good Lessons Great!


A conversation with an Ofsted inspector about strategies for making learning even better...
  • —“Simply judge teaching on whether children are engaged, focused, learning, and making progress ... and in the best lessons (are) being inspired”.
  • —Too many teachers were attempting to break lessons into bite-sized chunks instead of allowing pupils time to complete extended tasks.
  • —The secret lies in a teacher’s planning, self-reflection, perceptiveness and resilience.
  • —Think about what is going to fully engage your pupils. What is the curiosity that you provoke, the responsibilities you delegate or the surprise that you reveal. 
  • —There are thousands of outstanding teachers who are branded "good" because the level of risk they, for good reason, refuse to take big risks in observed lessons. 
  • —Work scrutiny is a huge source of evidence.
