Presenting the Lesson

• Structure the lesson to last an hour but you will have to allow additional 15 minutes for discussion with the SE.
• When you get to your car introduce the pupil to the SE and explain the purpose of the visit.
• Emphasis to the pupil that it’s you who is being checked.
• Encourage the pupil to be relaxed and to ask questions if there is anything that has not been understood.
• Remind the pupil that because of the extra weight in the back, the car may handle slightly differently.
• Begin the lesson with a 5 minute recap of what was covered in the previous driving lesson.
•  
• Asking about 4 questions should tell you if the pupil has remembered the key points
• Spend 5 minutes setting the lesson plan: also ask the pupil if there is anything they would like see covered in the lesson. This will also let the SE know what the objectives are.
• Conduct the lesson
• Spend 5 minutes debriefing at the end:

– Asking the pupil their impression of the lesson
– Inviting the pupil to ask questions
– Giving feedback on areas of strength and weakness

• Look forward to the next lesson, indicating which topics will be covered suggesting any relevant reading material that needs to be studied.
