To review the end of a session and identify areas for improvement

Aim

To review the end of a session and identify areas for improvement.

Evidence and reflection

Reflect back on a session you taught recently in the light of the following questions.

  • Did you give early warning of the end of the session?
  • Did you give clear instructions for tidying up resources/packing away?
  • Did you reinforce those instructions and monitor the packing away?
  • Did you take opportunities to reinforce the educational achievements, efforts and progress made?
  • Did you take opportunities to build up the sense of the class as a community?
  • Did you praise the students for what they did well?
  • Did you provide for an ordered exit from the room?
  • How might you respond differently in future?

Extension

You could very usefully ask a mentor or an experienced colleague to observe your session and offer specific comments. Before you do, highlight the particular issues on which you want feedback. This might also be a good moment to do some reading about the principles of class management.
