Self-Evaluation #2
Due: Wednesday, Dec. 3rd
1. List any variations from your plan, and describe why you changed
your plan.
Thad missed the one-minute warning, so we were about to improvise on
having smaller portions of the class sing. I should have been more
/ specific on the number to times that we would sing each slide, or
when/if I would model it for them. I got nervous and didn’t think
through it enough.
2. Best aspects of my teaching/the lesson:
a. Loud teacher voice
_7_ blots of modeling, snag through parts for them
c. Chunking to help with memory
3. Aspects for improvement:
a. Could have had them stand up and be more physically active
b. could have included some more vocal pedagogy, breathing
techniques and how to create a beautiful tone
c. could have moved around, talked to the whole class more
4, What did you notice about your teaching that surprised you from
watching the video?
I still don’t really like listening to myself talk, and it is even worse when
_--Thave to listen to myself sing. But what surprised me was how muchTyler Harr
rambling I would do. I need to work on having more focused directions
and make sure the directions have actions that the students can follow
and achieve.
5. What improvements did you make between lesson #1 and lesson
#2?
I succeeded in making a more stable and less chaotic classroom
environment, but may have taken away some of the fun aspects. In this
= I thought that I modeled more and had expectations of what |
‘wanted the class to be able to do. The class was doing less of creating
and analyzing, and more copying, which in a full class time would be
possible to reach higher on the spectrum.
