Even the most seasoned educators experience nervousness when it comes to lesson observations.

Although lesson observations certainly offer helpful suggestions for enhancing practice, the tense, formal once-per-term snapshot is a poor, unreliable indicator of teacher performance. We need a rethink.

Using the technology, AUEA has reduced ‘teacher fear’ and focussed on student learning rather than teaching practice delivering a positive effect on pupil engagement and teacher development.
