Watch Video sequence 2d taken from Pedagogy and practice: teaching and learning in secondary schools (DCSF 0445-2004 GDVD). Listen to what some Year 10 pupils consider constitutes a good lesson and then the teacher describing how his school has developed a whole-school approach. The result is that pupils have consistent expectations about their learning in all lessons.

When you have watched the sequence, reflect on how the approach compares with your lessons.

Ask your pupils what they feel constitutes a good music lesson. Ask yourself how you ensure consistency of teaching in music across your department.
