Alex provided the observer with a copy of the lesson plan in a timely
manner. The learning target was more of an activity (read, write,
discuss) than a measurable objective. The target was connected to a
standard. Procedures were clearly communicated and would allow for a
guest teacher to follow if needed. Future plans MUST include plans for
differentiation for promoting access to the general education
curriculum for ALL students. Plans should also include your strategy to
differentiate for those students demonstrating a keen interest in going
beyond expectations. Future plans should include a specific strategy to
monitor for student understanding of the identified target and a
strategy to promote closure at the lesson's conclusion. The university
requires you use the department's format (especially for observations).
The plan turned in to the observer modeled expected grammar and
organized a variety of well-paced activities. Alex included
opportunities for students to self-assess their level of understanding
as well. Alex affirms and acknowledges student contributions sincerely.
Technology was meaningfully integrated into the observed session.
Alex employs an effective attention getting signal as needed.
EXPECTATION: Experiment with strategies to promote closure at the
conclusion of each and every lesson.
Additional Comments:
SUGGESTION: Consider requiring
students respond to written questions in
complete sentences to assist in a
building wide initiative to increase
student ability to communicate using
language arts skills across the
curriculum. EXPECTATION: Keep an eye
on the clock and maintain the last minute
or so to promote closure.
