Effective classroom practice is very important to deliver successful lessons, I found from my observations that there are number of factors that effect good classroom practice.

• Have good preparation and planning for each lesson. This includes marking homework and have resources readily available and in working order.
• Developing personal relationship with class and have good behavioural management.
• Good lesson structure with objectives and aims clearly defined, i.e. starter main and plenary.
• Appropriate questions should be given, with clear instructions and explanations delivered throughout lessons.
• Exercises and activities should be varied and relevant to the subject area.
• Be dynamic and vigilant in the classroom environment. Prepare for pupils with all abilities and ensure that you are ready for problems arising.
• Time and effort should be placed on making sure that lessons deal with appropriate topics and activities
• Lessons should have pace and emphasis should be made on maintenance of momentum.
• Conclude lessons with good evaluation tasks so that lessons can be measured in terms of successful learning.
