Looking for advice please.
I have had a couple of requires improvement observations and am now being asked what support I need to improve. The observations were unannounced.
I admit that one of the lessons went a bit wrong. But it's mainly due to me getting so nervous because I'm being scrutinised. I'm not an amazing teacher but I'm ok and I do get good results but when I'm being observed I go to pieces.
Essentially I am now on the 'pathway to capability' so will be having drop-in observations every day for 10 days. I'm really nervous and I get panicy when slt come in the classroom. I know it's the nature of the job, and I do love teaching, so I need to find a way to cope and get through this so they will hopefully leave me alone. Well, not alone obviously, but just back to the regular scrutiny.
So how do I get over this and manage to teach to the best of my ability whilst slt are watching?
I'm really after practical advice on how to calm the fuck down so that I can think straight.
Any ideas welcome.
