2. Learning Walk
I will doing a series of learning walks this week so don't be surprised if I turn up in your classroom for a 10 mins or so over the next few days. In line with agreed school policy, I will not be grading lessons in any way but may give brief feedback to teachers on what I saw. I will give general feedback to the department in due course.
3. Observations
All staff need to be observed for a total of an hour before Christmas. All English staff had a 30-minute observation as part of the departmental review and some staff have had observations in different contexts that have brought them up to this amount.
Observations that need to take place in the next two weeks are:
JKY: PST, JD, NTU
PTO: ACL, PWA
LMA: PTO, CSW
PWA: LMA
Please can both observer and observee please take responsibility for making sure these take place and that observation feedback is passed on to me no later than Fri 14th Dec.
Staff can book cover in order to hold these observations - please email Sally Marsh/Danielle.
4. Mock exam - second sitting
Students who missed the mock exam on Mon 26th Nov sat it on Mon 3rd Dec - all scripts are in relevant staff pigeon holes.
5. Male students - inappropriate behaviour
There have been some complaints by female TAs about male KS4 students talking inappropriately about or showing a noticeable lack of respect female members of staff. This has been especially the case in all-male groups. If this is something you have noticed in any of your classes, can you please let me know so that we know what students to intervene with.
Thank you,
Jamie
