Observation of Teaching Learning and Assessment - information for tutors

Prior to an observation

• You will be given a 2 days notice that an observation will be taking place.  This observation notice will come from your centre manager.  
• We suggest that you inform your learners that the session will, or may, be observed.
• Please advise your line manager as to whether the observer will need to be aware of any special circumstances, for example: will safety equipment/ clothing be required?  Will the session be a field trip?  Will a nude model be present in the case of an art class?  Is it a women-only class?  Are there any special sensitivities relating to learners or the overall class?  
• You will be asked to provide the observer with a copy of you scheme of work and session plan.
