Cooperating Teacher Comments Regarding Lesson Plan and Lesson

Did the student share her/his lesson plan with you prior to teaching it? _X__Yes

___ No

Teachers know how to teach. #4

The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies, including the use of
technology, to encourage children's development of critical thinking, problem solving, and
performance skills.
You researched strategies that would help students respond critically to essay questions. You made it
relevant by showing the Badger test and an example. You chunked the lesson. You gave a nice
introduction of these strategies in small sizes. These are strategies that must be continually repeated
throughout the year and students got a good foundation through this lesson.
Teachers know how to test for student progress. #8
The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and
ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the pupil.
You did a nice job scaffolding the activity. Whole group, small groups and finally their ticket out was
individually. You listened to students feedback to determine whether to continue to the next point or
practice more. The assessments allowed for you to get a snapshot of where students were in relation to
the strategy.
Teachers are able to evaluate themselves. #9
The teacher is a reflective practitioner who continually evaluates the effects of his or her choices
and actions on pupils, parents, professionals in the learning community and others and who
actively seeks out opportunities to grow professionally.
You reflected on your instruction through review students assessments. You felt that you should have
done less based on students responses. You took time to think about what you could have done
differently to address the constructed response. You do a nice job reflecting on your practice, however the
lesson presented this day was an outstanding introduction!
