Procedure
Part (a) (500 words):
Consider the following from the first half of the course:
  * Your self-evaluations of your teaching.
  * Feedback you have received from tutors (oral and written feedback and the Stage 1 written tutorial), peers (in feedback sessions or anecdotal) and learners (either based on their reactions or their comments).
  * Your observations of your peers, experienced teachers (on DVD or live) and tutors on the course.

Based on the above:
  * Part 1: Describe three of your strengths as a teacher with specific examples from your own TP (or planning) – these areas should be repeated strengths rather than something which happened only once. (150 words)
  * Part 2: Describe three of your areas to work on as a teacher again with specific examples from your own TP (or planning) – as above, these should refer to general weaknesses and not to something which happened only once.   Write these in the first column of the chart below. (150 words)
  * Part 3: With reference to your Observation Log (please attach up-to-date) and including comments from both peer and experienced teacher observations (please refer to specific teachers and lessons), list 2 specific ideas which will help you improve in each of your areas to work on in the second half of the course.   Write these ideas in the second column of the chart below.
