lesson were to be presented in the in person classroom instructional format. She includes strategies for
transitions between activities, materials distribution and rewards for earning Dojo points.
Ms. Shugars has identified instructional goals that are aligned to the state standards and district
curriculum for this grade level and subject areas. Ms. Shugars utilized appropriate resources for the
planning and presentation of this lesson based on student interests and skill levels. The instructional
plan is detailed in a sequential, progressive manner with an engaging opening activity that activates
students' prior knowledge, provides modeling of instruction, guided and independent practice, checks for
understanding and closing activity that allows for movement and student demonstration of their ability
to apply their new knowledge. Several movement breaks between activities are also planned to allow
students to take a brain break and refocus their energy. If the lesson were to be taught in person,
opportunities for class discussion and turn and talks are included as well.
Assessments planned are based on teacher observation of student participation and attention to task,
completed work products and student responses. Specific criteria for the formal formative assessment is
not noted.
As previously stated, it is not possible to be physically present to observe this lesson. All comments are
based on the detail Ms. Shugars has provided in her lesson plan for this domain. Ms. Shugars provides
opportunities for student- teacher interaction as well as student to student interaction via turn and talk
activities and the closing activity. The importance of the content is stressed throughout the lesson and
application activities are provided.
Details for management of instructional groups includes specific directions to students of what is
expected as well as the use of modeling of instruction and a timer to maintain the pace of instruction.
Based on feedback from Ms. Morgan, Ms. Shugars has made adjustments to how she addresses

worksheets or computers on their desks.
