EBE’s summary: This programme will help you to lead the development of supportive environments for learning in your school or college and give you the tools to ensure all colleagues can maximise every opportunity for learning.

Reflect and analyse See your lesson from a new perspective, completely in private and whenever it suits you. Use the analysis tools to gain deeper insights into the teaching and learning in your classroom and adapt your lessons accordingly to improve student outcomes. Share and collaborate Recording video clips enables effective coaching over distance, as colleagues can share their choice of teaching extract with their coach over the online platform, with the need for the coach to arrange cover. This is also great for peer group, developmental lesson observations and for giving and receiving valuable, contextualised feedback timestamped to precise moments in the lesson. No more feeding back with ‘can you remember the question you asked around 23 minutes into the lesson?!’ You can timestamp your comments linked to a precise moment from the clip shared. Build and engage Over time, and with permission from the individual, schools can build up a bank of concrete clips to demonstrate T&L strategies with your children in your classrooms to share amongst the wider staff as a powerful demonstration of what is possible in your context.

Do you want to overcome the restrictions of covering lessons to help colleagues share teaching strategies? This is an opportunity to use video clips of lessons to reflect individually and improve granular strands of practice alongside colleagues in a peer group structure of analysing what really makes an impact in our classrooms.
