Professionalism Planning for Learning Managing Learning Implementing Learning Assessment Critical Reflection *Based on one lesson observation only - MM

Strengths of the lesson: Small group (6 students) lesson: Lesson plan was prepared in advance. Lesson outcome was specific and measurable. You reviewed the key vocabulary first and told the students what they would be working on today. Before showing them the video, you told them you would be asking questions afterwards, which is a good way to encourage engagement. You asked them first what they understood from the video and asked follow up questions, before clarifying what happened in the video. Resources were prepared and ready to go. Students were actively involved in the guided activity and identified the criteria for classification. I liked that you reviewed the different ways of sorting throughout the lesson, and recorded these with the help of the students, to refer back to.

Areas for development: Keep in mind that when you have a lot of interesting resources to touch, students will want to touch them! If you would like them to wait and listen first, then you need to explain that to them, e.g. ‘I am going to tip out the shapes now. We will use them for sorting, but I want you to wait and watch how I do it first before trying yourself.’ Also think about the level of challenge. As this is a new skill, this is your chance to assess where the students are starting from, but you can use your observations of how they work and their levels to help guide you when planning. If this lesson was too hard or too easy, how would you adjust during the activity? A little more detail required for the lesson plan (enough so someone else could use your plan and know exactly what to do).

General Comments:

You have a calm, relaxed manner with the students. I liked that you were conversing with the students during the activity, about the work Your students were engaged and interested in the activities.

With the student highlight areas for improvement. -

Develop closer relationships with the students. I will do this by working with small groups every time students are working in groups, aiming to have time with each group. Improve classroom management, especially instructions. I will record my instructions on lesson plans. I will ask students to repeat instructions back to me before starting.
