Uses: Professional development Initial teacher education Action research observation template About: This 60 minute learning cycle observation sheet has been developed over a number of years with trainee teachers as a practical tool to improve pace through the lesson structure, and linking additional information about teacher and student lesson activity. Trainees have found this an informative tool to lead reflective analysis about lesson planning in discussions with colleagues and in coursework, as well as a useful visual tool for checking timings when planning lessons. It has also proved a quick and useful reflective tool when trying to pinpoint, or improve, good practice. Feedback on your experiences using my resource is appreciated.
