This course is designed to develop the practical skills required in successfully observing lessons and giving high quality feedback. The course looks at what comprises an effective lesson in a variety of special school settings and moves through to how staff can make judgements based on an effective schedule of criteria - before tackling the crucial issue of giving quality feedback to colleagues.

The course content - which uses video material and is practically based - will help schools who are preparing for an OfSTED inspection, those wanting to develop staff skills for Performance Management, or teachers wishing to set up a peer observation system.
