Post-Teaching Reflection

I felt that the lesson went well, but was very short. I could have added more details to the lesson
and went more in depth with the lesson. I felt that my teaching skills were pretty good, and I was
able to keep students attention on the lesson. I needed to go more indepth with the content and
look through my CSO's and National Standards a little better next time. This way I can know
more about what I am teaching and the students can learn and get more out of the content.
