the Pre formal observation Reflection Form.
‘The lesson was on triangles. The students were all participated in the problem solving activities by
holding up their whiteboards. Students did ask some good questions and students responded to
questions without making Ms. Thorne wait a long time for a volunteer. Ms. Thorne presented the
relationship ofthe sides to one smother by first reviewing an equilateral triangle connecting new
concept to prior learning. It was also a way to help students understand how the ratlo was derived.
‘The was followed by a number of examples students were asked to solve on their whiteboards. While
presenting information Ms. Thorne capitalized on her rapport with students and used husidr to
redirect students. There was one individual student who had a very difficult time listening, He made
comments and repeated them if he was not initially acknowledged. Ms. Thorne was able to make
quick responses to this student and still maintain the pace needed to keep the rest ofthe students
engaged. The lesson was well designed in that prior knowledge was referenced, a new coneept was
tied to prior learning by deriving the ratios. Students were able to solve the problems using the ratios
Dut they also were able to tell why the ratios were what they were.
The instructor made very good use ofthe time and the students were engaged throughout the Iesson.
Thave seen a great deal of growth in Ms. Thorne in terms of her confidence. She has the skills and
understands how to establish quality and appropriate relationships with her students. She has
demonstrated that she has a good grasp on her content and the ability to plan and deliver a quality
lesson. I would recommend that she attend the Project-based Learning workshop being offered this
summer. Her philosophy and style will align well with a student centered learning environment PBL
