ISI Inspection Criteria and Lesson Observation for Independent Schools

A course to help Independent Schools make sense of the latest ISI Observation Criteria and to help ensure that their own observation judgments are in tune with current expectations.

This course is suitable for all senior staff and team leaders involved with classroom observation and professional development. Indeed all teaching staff will find it helpful to understand what ISI are looking for in an outstanding lesson and what the teacher now needs to demonstrate to achieve this.

The training session will examine: the current emphasis of inspections, how to observe lessons using inspection methods, how good internal classroom observation can be used to raise standards and how using a variety of teaching styles and compelling learning experiences can be linked to improving attainment and progress.

Delegates will have the opportunity to observe a range of filmed lessons and discuss and evaluate their content.

Content will include:

Observation priorities.
The latest ISI evaluation schedule.
The latest Independent School Standards for curriculum, teaching and assessment.
Effective learning and teaching.
Judging lessons using inspection standards.
Making evaluative statements.
Feedback to enable staff development and improvement.
