The process:• Identifying a focus

Learning and Teaching focus - will generate key questions to act as a focus to the observation.

• Observation of Learning and Teaching in school.

Visit to school investigates this focus through observation. The team gather evidence that is descriptive and specific.

• Post Observation Discussion - 2 stages.

Team members describe what they saw.

They analyse the evidence - arranging it and identifying patterns.

• Next Steps Creation.

In the context of available resources, the group generate and discuss a range of ideas on what should be done next at a system wide level.
