Focus - Spelling and Whole class teaching
This morning SM observed Routines and Behaviour Management. She noticed that some students started to get unsettled on the mat during the Spelling lesson. Two boys were pulling on each other and there was a group of students at the back that were talking to each other and not engaged etc. This has been something that I have noticed too. After the observation, we spoke about what changes I can make to ensure that all students are engaged and contributing to the discussing. We agreed that the next steps will be to move students who are being disruptive or not focused to the front of the room. I will also try to refocus the lesson by getting them to think, pair share and then feedback.
Another point of discussion was that I was using 'shhhh' a lot. I had not realised I was doing this so it was great to have someone pick up on that. I know its not effective and I will need to do something different to manage the noise level rising.
