Ensure lesson observation feedback hits the mark so you can better support your students

Good lesson feedback is the intellectual nourishment for personal development, but not always the recipe for a successful transfer to a fresh topic. Transferring knowledge and skills across topics or subjects can be cognitively challenging, but understanding the concepts of transfer, both near and far, can help support your personal development. Teacher trainer Dom Shibli shows how the concept of transfer particularly proves its worth in lesson observations and planning, benefiting both teacher and students.
