Driving development through observation

Session Overview

By the end of the session participants will be able to:

• Identify patterns and themes from multiple observations to inform staff development.
• Use observation findings to co-create realistic, supportive action plans with teachers/trainers.
• Link individual feedback to wider organisational quality improvement goals.

Any observation’s real value lies in how it drives improvement. In this session we’ll explore how to use your findings to promote professional growth, rather than simply record compliance. You’ll learn practical ways to identify trends, share good practice, and build development plans that make a difference for individual practitioners and the learner experience as a whole.
