Lesson structure

During the debrief Tim mention that He was interested in how their monitored the quality if what was happening in lessons, which connects with what I saw in a taught lesson.

This was very much chalk and talk, with only a few students responding to teacher questions. This has got me too pondering about if lesson planning structures over manage the learning and remove space from the learners to make sense for themselves. Although the connections were mention only in passing on probing students were able to relate this knowledge to new wider implications.

I think Nuthalls insistence that lesson observation Should focus on the learning and not the teaching will be key to seeing how problem based learning works at HTH.
