Just finished my final Observed Teaching Assessment for my PGCE course!
I taught a showjumping session, working three riders at BHS Stage 2 standard through a grid.
The riders jumped out of canter, and I built the grid up logically through the session, progressing from cross poles to uprights. The main teaching points I focussed on were the quality of the canter, and the line of approach taken by the riders.
I was delighted to be awarded an ‘outstanding’ (grade 1) on the OFSTED scale of grades.
Just want to say a massive thank you to Tamsin, Faye and Katrin (and Pepsi, Jake and Bembridge!) for being such excellent guinea pigs – You guys are a pleasure to teach 🙂
