After the observation general questions

learning.
Arrange a time to discuss the following points with the
teacher. It is important that you ask these questions as
they will help you with your reflection later.
How do you plan? Do you plan weekly, daily, as part of a team or
individually?
She discusses with other teacher, daily at first she plans by herself and
then they discuss with each other and take ideas.
Do you do anything you havent planned to do?
NO.
What is important to you when planning a lesson?
To make students enjoy and be successful in education.
Do you plan to do the same thing with all the children in the
classroom? (Why/Why not? No I prefer all students is the same
because nobody can fight and nobody get sad. But if they need any
extra classes the teacher will be there for them.
