Best practice in support, observation, feedback and assessment

This category breaks down into four sub-categories: Supporting, Observing, Feedback and Assessing. 

  • Supporting looks at the ongoing process; it relies on discussion, planned or impromptu, about how to plan, conduct and evaluate training activities. 
  • Observing details how to set up, conduct and follow up on observations appropriately. 
  • Feedback looks at the process of feedback and how to manage it.
  • Assessment looks at the ability to provide consistent and accurate formal teacher assessment as part of the trainer’s role.
