What a satisfactory lesson!
I delivered a barely-satisfactory literacy lesson, which led to the deputy head describing my NQT year as being "near dead-in-the-water".
If an observer were observing a genuinely satisfactory (without inverted commas) lesson, they'd be liable to leave it expressing their gratitude to the teacher.
A more recent lesson was "satisfactory", but this is no longer good enough in today's world, and I would be unlikely to get another job when every school is asking for "outstanding" teachers.
Consequently, if you are awarded with a good your lessons are normally satisfactory.
Because "satisfactory" when applied to schools and lessons is shorthand for, "Well, it'll do, but, let's face it: you're a bit shit really".
It was concerning to note that not a single policy evaluation report was rated satisfactory in relation to „recommendations and lessons learned‟.
What should we read into the change to the bald four grades currently in use, where lessons are either "outstanding", "good", "satisfactory" or "inadequate"?
Regarding the quality of teaching observed from the teachers in classrooms, 52% of lessons were judged to be satisfactory or good.
The number of programme elements implemented can be regarded as satisfactory, with 6 of the 7 fixed lessons (87%) and almost 5 of the 7 optional activities (65%) implemented.
