About the role
A primary school teacher plans and teaches lessons, manages the class, builds strong reading and number skills, assesses progress and keeps parents informed. The panel is deciding whether pupils will learn well and feel safe in your classroom.
How to prepare
- Prepare a lesson you taught well and explain why it worked for your pupils.
- Think through how you manage a class with different levels of ability.
- Be ready to describe your approach to classroom behaviour and how you keep pupils engaged.
- Know how you track progress in reading and numeracy and act on what you find.
- Plan how you speak with a parent who is worried about a pupil's progress.
Common mistakes
- Talking about discipline only, with nothing on engagement.
- Giving a lesson example with no clear learning goal.
- Forgetting to mention how you work with parents.
