• encourage a teacher to think about the structure, content and timing of the lesson
• make sure all required resources are prepared and available
• enable a teacher to reflect on what went well in the lesson, what did not, and the reasons why
• provide a record of the teaching and learning strategies that students responded to positively and whether any are being over or under used
• enable a teacher to check whether assessment strategies have been incorporated to monitor the achievement of each planned objective or outcome
