Summary

Ramneet, you have been able to establish a close rapport with children in the class,
through your cheerful demeanour and caring attitude. You have demonstrated initiative
and willingness to take up responsibility in the class.
By following the class norms, routines and rules, consistently, you are able to manage
transitions smoothly and maximise instructional time. You are able to anchor whole class
interactions as well as small group activities, effectively. By providing clear and stepwise
instructions before assigning a task or a worksheet you are able to ensure that children
are aware of the expectations from the task.
Your lessons are well planned, age appropriate and interesting. The learning outcomes
are specific and measureable. Aligning the assessment to these outcomes and using this
assessment to modify your teaching will help children learn better.
You have shown significant improvement in the use of questioning to scaffold learning.
By asking specific children to answer a question or to rephrase or elaborate an answer
provided by their peer helps you involve the entire class. By posing more probing and
clarifying questions you can support children in articulating their thinking and building
understanding. Your board work is neat and well organised. However, by pacing the
lesson more carefully you can ensure better time management.
Ramneet, your reflections are honest. You accept feedback and attempt to incorporate it
in subsequent teaching practice. You can extend this by reflecting in a more deliberate
and structured manner - by extending your reflections from what to how and why. This
will help in further professional growth and development.

Next steps

Include more probing questions to encourage children to elaborate and clarify their
responses to support concept formation.

Invest time in reading about content and pedagogy to transact lessons that help
children construct new understanding.

Deliberate on the pace at which a lesson should proceed to ensure effective

learning. Keep a watch on time even during the lesson to ensure that you are not
going too fast or too slow.
