Gradual Release Model Kanna should use differentiation on their level so there will
be from emergent to master.

Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with colleague): e.g. how did you feel about
conducting a formal observation? How did your colleague feel about being observed? How did you feel about
discussing your observations with your colleague after the lesson? How did your colleague react to your
assessment? Did she agree with your evaluation? Which of the suggestions you made will your colleague apply in
her next lesson? Do you and your colleague feel that this was a valuable experience? Why/Why not?

Kanna was confident from teaching, students were fully engaged , and strategies that she used was affective like
Thumbs up and down, I discussed about what strengths she have and was more than welcome to listen to my
feedback, and she said she will use it next lesson. She will use the Zone proximal of development, and have good
differentiation. It was valuable experience because a teacher will be better if she let other to observe her and
motivate and listen to her, some advices works well to improve a lesson. Because a teacher cannot watch herself
and know the difficulties and weaknesses she had.

Please share feedback immediately following the observation once the forms are completed.

Hana was confident from teaching, students were not-fully engaged , and strategies that she used was affective like
Show Me, I discussed about what strengths she have and she was more than welcome to listen to my feedback, and
she said she will use it next lesson. She will use the star of the week and ClassDojo , and have good effective learning
