This film series was produced to accompany materials in the Beginning Teacher units. It contains a Key Stage 3 history lesson debrief. The materials are not designed specifically to be examples of good practice; rather they are to promote discussion about good practice in teacher training.

The films show a meeting between Harjit and her mentor, Sarah, reviewing a Year 8 lesson. Harjit is a trainee on the history PGCE course at the University of Southampton (2004-05). She joined the course straight from university, but beforehand had gained some experience working with pupils on schools. The school is Wyvern Technology College, near Southampton. The class taught are described as able and enthusiastic. Harjit has taught a wide range of classes during the placement, and has been making good progress. The lesson took place towards the end of the main placement.
