Note to the trainee: Please add this observation report with your evaluation of the lesson, the extended lesson plan and your reflection on the whole observation and feedback process to the
Teaching Observation File which is part of your PDP.
No observations can take place unless you bring your Teaching Observation File with
you for your observer when you are being observed. This is because each observer is looking for the progress you make and seeing your last observation reports will help the observer greatly.
