Assessment & Lesson Observation captures the hopes and fears of two Primary NQTs, David Freeborn and Sandra Abdulai-Saani, as their teaching skills are put to the test in the second term of their induction year. The programme provides insight into the typical problems that most NQTs experience during observations, and induction expert Sara Bubb advises on common pitfalls and how best to prepare for the follow-up meeting. Both NQTs left their office jobs to take up teaching - David to train on a one-year PGCE and Sandra on a three year BEd. They each have Year 3 classes in South London primary schools. For David behaviour management has been the biggest challenge to date, for Sandra it has been differentiation. The programme follows their assessment from the anxious preparation before the lesson to the frank discussions in the feedback session. Discover if Sandra and David's observation lessons make the grade and help them pass their induction year.
