Two groups of Inspectorates visited our school this week... such a coincidence... well, i was the "lucky" or for some people , the "unlucky" ones... because I was observed twice, by two different groups.
As a teacher who has served for quite some time, 21 years , to be exact, i don't really feel the anxiety as what i felt many years ago.. For me, it's okay if you choose to come to my class. It is just that i regret that i couldn't use ICT in my lesson, and i have to "survive" with just some handouts to be distributed to my students.
Still i feel that any teacher would get high marks - marks filled in the inspectorate forms - if they had used ICT, be it power points, videos etc. This is because the lesson would be more interesting, of course, but that doesnt happen in our school coz the use of LCD is limited, only 4 rooms are available to use ICT... Pity the students, how unlucky of them to bear with us teachers who teach using chalk and talk...
Another thing that would make inspectorate happy is for us teachers to begin our lesson with a good set induction and since mine is an english lesson, make sure students talk a lot..ie. do most of the things(writing, talking, reading etc) done in the class. It should be students' centered, not teacher centered.
Last but not least, make sure your record book is up to date. It should be complete with all the syllabus, scheme of work, students' name list, marks...etc.. you name it.
Well , good luck ... and be happy and ready always to be observed :-)
