Pre teaching
You will need to discuss with your MST what you will teach. You could
introduce or finish a lesson (math/science/reading a story/writing)

Once you have decided what you will teach (a 20 - 30 minute session),
you will need to plan carefully. Work with your MST and show him/ her
your planning.

Teach the first session in a pair

Ask the teacher to observe you and give you feedback (relates to
assessment 3)

Ask your teacher to show you resources you could use to teach in the
classroom

Ask the teacher for tips on classroom management and the

themes/topics for the class

o Lesson aims:
o What do you want the children to learn?
o How will you know they learnt this?
