Additional adults not used effectively

Planned involvement of additional adults but lacks direction

Children unaware of what they have to do or what they are learning Little use made of open or differentiated questioning Lack of pace Lesson ends abruptly with no plenary, or plenary used solely for feedback Children are not focused on task/ poor behaviour management

Children understand the task and are generally focused Differentiated questioning, some open ended Pace is limited Minimal plenary. Plenary is used as distinct teaching session with no reference to future learning. Behaviour management strategies evident & used to create a calm working environment but key chn not focused in all of the lesson ICT & IWB used Teacher makes rough assessment of learning but does not address in plenary. Teachers lets chn know how well they are doing and uses information to agree next targets that chn understand. Little differentiation evident Work presented to reasonable standard Marking regular and developmental

No use of ICT or IWB Teacher unaware if chn have met targets. Targets too easy or too general

No differentiation evident Work presented to poor standard Marking general & infrequent
