Notes:
My handwriting on my own graphic organizer was
easy to read. I zoomed in enough on the document
camera so everyone could see.
Perhaps I could have written my example graphic
organizer as I went instead of having it pre-written
I could hear myself clearly, so I think everyone else
could.
Students turn and talk first, then listen, answer
questions, and write (using multiple language arts)
Modeled my own example
Gave students thinking time and gave them a fifteen
application is possible.
I plan for "thinking time for my students so
they can organize their thoughts and plan what
they are going to say or do.
Diversity
D. Culture and Adjustment
o I am aware that cultural differences affect the
learning situation.
o I keep the cultural background(s) of my
students in mind when planning daily activities
and am aware of culture misunderstandings
which might arise from the activities I choose.
o I work for an atmosphere of understanding and
mutual respect.
o I tell students when they have done well, but I
don't let praise become mechanical.
o My activites are varied, some more visual,
aural, oral and kinesthetic. I provide models,
examples, and experiences to maximize
learning in each of these areas.
Professionalism
B. Self-concepts
I treat my students with the same respect that I expect
them to show me.
I plan "one-centred" activities which give all students
an opportunity at some point to feel
important and accepted.
C. Aptitude and Perception
I am aware that my students learn differently.
My exercises are varied, some ore visual, aural, oral
and kinesthetic. I provide models,
examples, and experiences to maximize learning in each
of these areas.
I finish my class period in a way which will review
the new concepts presented during the class period. My
students can immediately evaluate their understanding of
those concepts.
III. The Activity
A. Interaction
The activities maximize student involvement.
The activities are organized to insure a high success
rate, leaving enough room for error tomake the activity
challenging.
second warning
They had time to plan before they even brainstormed
Notes:
Kept cultural backgrounds in mind; used examples
relatable to their lives
Respected all students
I think I should have praised my students more and
told them I liked their answers and why I liked their
answer
Provided models
Could have been more engaging to connect to their
own lives.
