Top Five Best Moments as an NQT #3

by studentteacher83 @ Tuesday, 14. Aug, 2007 - 15:49:03

One of my worst moments was when I had a lesson rated as inadequate. The flip side was a lesson just three weeks later where I got graded as outstanding. All this left me feeling incredibly confused. Am I any good or not? Given the excellent results I've gotten from my classes (touch wood - there's one module test's results pending) I'm starting to harbour delusions of being a bit or a maverick. Not playing things quite by the book and not giving a stuff about lesson observations or what senior leadership think, but by gosh, getting the results.

Which is utter tosh because I'm a swot and incredibly insecure so really care about what other staff think - especially if they give me great gradings for observations.

presumably you can ask in what way the lesson was inadequate, in the interests of improving.

Yes and in the interests of demoralisation!
