Other feedback:
Write notes for the student on what they did well and what they can do to improve. A good guide is
to identify 3 main strengths and 3 main areas for improvement. If there is not enough space, or if
you want to provide more detailed feedback, you can make more notes on a separate sheet and
attach it to the report.
You should also take 5-10 minutes after the lesson to discuss your feedback with the student and
offer your constructive advice.
Observer’s declaration:
You can mark the student as Satisfactory overall if; you have been able to mark most of their
demonstrated skills as 2 or 3 and; they made a reasonable attempt to prepare and present their
lesson to a high professional standard.
Please sign and date the report and give it to the student immediately after the lesson. Include your
contact details. Please note that AVSE routinely contacts observers at random to verify the
authenticity of observer reports.
