The ORBIT materials provide a set of high quality, curated resources for interactive pedagogy.  Such pedagogy - as is discussed in subsequent strategies - is associated with better learning outcomes. 


You can turn the ORBIT activities into assessment tasks that can help you to find out whether your pupils have learned the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes described in your learning outcomes. Where this is not possible, you can develop your own assessment tool.
'''How does using ORBIT materials contribute to Professional Development?'''
 
Teachers should reflect on their lessons to determine what worked well, and what did not work well so as to improve teaching, and plan better subsequent lessons. In doing this, some of the questions you could consider are

Giving and receiving feedback is an important part of assessment. It is important for you to give feedback to your pupils so that you can share what they did well, what they did not do so well, and how they could improve. Remember to use this feedback to plan subsequent lessons, activities and assessment.
 
You should also give your pupils an opportunity to give feedback on the assessment task so that you can find out whether they thought the assessment task was appropriate/not appropriate, easy/difficult, and any problems they may have encountered.
 
'''What do you think you learned from teaching with ORBIT materials'''?
 
You should reflect on your lessons to determine what worked well, and what did not work well so as to improve your teaching, and plan better subsequent lessons. In doing this, some of the questions you could consider are:


* What challenges did I have while planning and preparing for this lesson?
* What challenges did I have while planning and preparing for this lesson?

* What difficulties were there in teaching the topic?
* What difficulties were there in teaching the topic?
* Was there enough time to do the activities?
* Was there enough time to do the activities?
* Were the resources used appropriate and adequate?
* Were the resources used appropriate and adequate?}}


Now you have responded to these questions, how do you feel about the activity and the way in which you use it?}}
ORBIT resources provide sample classroom materials, related Professional Development resources, and in many instances suggested technological tools to support interactive learning.  This combination provides a solid grounding for Professional Development activities in interactive teaching, with applied examples, practical development activities, and current tools highlighted.
