Heart of England School

This survey was used by Heart of England to capture attitudes of staff regarding peer observation, a new Lesson Observation room and general feelings towards professional development.

This form in the peer observation process, and for teachers who have chosen to teach a lesson in the Lesson Observation room. It asks what the intended outcome/expectation of the lesson is, and focusses on the cause and effect of the particular intervention chosen, and areas of both strength and development in the lesson.

This list of protocols must be agreed to by any staff member who decides to teach, film or observe a lesson in the Observation Room. It demonstrates the importance the school has placed on establishing a level of trust amongst its staff, and creating an open culture.
