questions.
Were there a variety of different teaching strategies used?
Was the educational objective met? How can I be sure the students
learned retained the material?
Did the students seem engaged in learning? How do I know?
Did the group of students I formed work together and cooperate with
one another?
Was culture effectively infused into the unit?
What would I do different the next time I teach this unit?
