Valentines High School rates secondary maths teacher Lisa Essop as ‘good’. As part of our challenge we bring in top inspector Clare Gillies to assess one of Lisa’s Year 7 lessons. After observing Lisa’s lesson on angles, the inspector highlights a need to tackle differentiation and give some real life context to the mathematics.
Lisa’s then off to our ‘clinic’ to get some one-to-one CPD on pedagogy from secondary maths expert John Wilkinson. Lisa also gets advice from our presentation and communications expert Mo Shapiro. She then has just three weeks back in the classroom to put their advice into action before the inspector returns for the final verdict. Will Lisa make the grade? Will she raise her game sufficiently to go from ‘good’ to ‘outstanding’?

I would not agree with the plenary that the maths expert offered the teacher. This is because the card matching plenary the maths expert offered appears to be virtually a whole lesson in itself and would go much longer than the 3 - 5 mins a plenary should take. I much preferred the original plenary offered by the teacher.
An interesting clip which gives good insight into what makes an 'outstanding' lesson. Some good tips and advice especially for secondary school teachers.
