The Educational Psychologist will guide you in consultation to select a key focus of intervention. This will be phrased as the ‘Helping Question’, for example: ‘How can I help all my students engage with their learning in lessons?’ or ‘How can I help my students grow confidence in their learning?’, or ‘How can I help my students be more independent?’ etc.

We arrange a suitable time for the psychologist to come to your classroom to film. If your question is ‘How can I help my students engage?’ then we will be aiming to capture a particularly engaging lesson. The teacher has total control of when the filming will happen so they prepare in advance.

The psychologist takes the film away and prepares short clips to be shared with the teacher.

The psychologist returns to meet with the class teacher and holds a shared review. This is a consultation between the psychologist and the class teacher where the selected clips are analysed together to support reflection and solutions in relation to the Helping Question. This process is usually repeated three times. The teacher has control of the final clips and may decide to share these with his colleagues or keep them private.
