3. PP/SEND review
Just to reiterate that there is no need to panic or do anything differently while the PP/SEND review is taking place. Please make sure your SPOT folders are up to date and that you are aware of the PP/SEND students in your class and how you can best help them.
4. Lesson observations
We will be holding a round of lesson observations this term. Everyone in the dept will be observed but the focus is on self-reflection and improvement rather than checking up. As such, please think about what area of your practice you would most like to develop, or whether there is a particular class you are finding difficult and would like some advice on. The default is that these lesson obs will be taken by TLR holders within the dept but that doesn't have to be the case. If there is someone who has particular strengths in an area you would like to develop, by all means ask them to come in and observe you. We will discuss the arrangements for this in more detail when we next meet as a dept but I wanted to give everyone a heads-up.

We had two candidates for the Head of English post but both pulled our prior to interview.
