Presenting the Lesson

- 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
