Introducing the GTC Networks.
Good teaching needs good networks and good networks need good teachers.
The GTC Networks provide support by linking teachers nationally and putting them in touch with the latest research and evidence. They let teachers have a voice at national debates on changes to education.
Peer observation
This section contains case studies and examples of ways that individual teachers and schools have used the GTC’s Guide to Peer Observation. It draws on comments that were made in the GTC’s online discussion forum for the Connect network of those who co-ordinate CPD in schools.
(Do you have good practice in peer observation you would like to share? Please let us know if so by contacting connect@gtce.org.uk We are particularly interested in case studies which reflect all phases of education and which show how this approach can work in special schools as well as mainstream schools.
The content of these case studies was shared at a series of GTC Teachers Voices conferences in Summer 2004. Delegates at these conferences said they would like to have a copy of the PowerPoint that outlined some of these approaches and a copy (in PDF format) can be downloaded from this page:
'I believe that peer observation is both an excellent tool for sharing effective practice / raising the quality of teaching and also raising the self-esteem and confidence of staff involved.' (Craig Tunstall, head teacher)
