This time around I spoke to science teacher and author, Adam Boxer. We discussed Adam’s process for observing lessons, giving feedback and coaching teachers. We discussed the following, and plenty more: What were Adam’s early experiences both being observed and observing others? How does Adam now observe and give feedback? Can non-specialists observe as well as subject specialists? Whatever your style of teaching, experience or subject, I think you will get a lot out of this conversation. Useful time-stamps: What did Adam’s lesson observations used to look like? (10:55) What does Adam do before observing a lesson? (41:48) What does Adam do in the lesson he is observing? (54:45) What does Adam do between the lesson and the feedback session? (1:25:18) What does the feedback session look like? (1:27:48) How does this fit into a coaching cycle? (1:49:38) Should non subject specialists observe lessons? (1:58:09) Adam discusses Caroseul and his secret project (2:05:41) My takeaway (2:0957) On Twitter Adam is: @adamboxer1 Adam’s blog is: achemicalorthodoxy.wordpress.com Adam’s book is: Teaching Secondary Science: a complete guide Find out more about Carousel Learning here: carousel-learning.com Sign up for updates about Adam’s secret project here *** My usual plugs: You can sign up for the Tips for Teachers newsletter here: tipsforteachers.co.uk/newsletter My online courses are here: craigbarton.podia.com My books are “Tips for Teachers“, “Reflect, Expect, Check, Explain” and “How I wish I’d taught maths” If you are interested in sponsoring an episode of the show, then drop me an email at [email protected] You can help support the show via my Patreon page at patreon.com/mrbartonmaths ***
