How Video Tech has turned our Lesson Observation on its head

Even the most seasoned educators experience nervousness when it comes to lesson observations.

Although lesson observations certainly offer helpful suggestions for enhancing practice, the tense, formal once-per-term snapshot is a poor, unreliable indicator of teacher performance. We need a rethink.

Using the technology, AUEA has reduced ‘teacher fear’ and focussed on student learning rather than teaching practice delivering a positive effect on pupil engagement and teacher development.
