·' - GROWTH
Strengths/ Professional Learning Achieved:
-~
-Lesson Planning: your lessons are well written and well prepared, you have taken the learning objectives from the Alberta Program of Studies and have tumed
them Into meaningful activities for the students. You have all the materials sourced, ready and organized prior to teaching your lessons.
-Utilizing a variety of Instructional strategies to engage students with learning content . centers, direct teaching, modelling, opportunities for whole and small
group collaboration, Independent work
-Communication: you have a very kind and respectful tone of voice Oust donl be afraid to command their attention at Umesl) and your written communication Is
:very professional and clear
-Effective use of technology • adept at using your IPad while Instructing, choosing appropriate videos to help add to your content delivery, creation of a Kahoot
for high student engagement
--
Su_g~stlons / Areas for Growth:
-Classroom Management: you are spending a lot of time during your lessons continually re-directing students.
How can you reinforce your expectations so that you are respected as the authority In the classroom?
Can you adapt your lessons and Instructional strategies to really engage students In the content and lessons so you doni need to spend as much time
managing small behaviours?
.Can you Increase the pace of your lessons so there Is less •down• and less wait time?
-Relationships: Work on building relationships with the students. Relationships are key to successful classroom management and create an enjoyable
.classroom community environment. If the students feel like you really like them, they will be more likely to respond to you In a respectful and positive manner.
•Be their teacher even when you aren't assigned to be specifically teaching them. Examples: greet them In the morning and/or after recesses. come out on
supervision and engage with the students in these lnfonnal settings where you aren't expected to •instruct" them
-Assessment In the second half of the practicum I would like you to think about how you would effectively assess students for your lessons (mostly fonnative,
but also some summative). Take into consideration the students learning needs and whether they are achieving the learning outcomes that you are wanting
them to. How will you provide feedback to students at this level and how will the students know if they are meeting your expectations?
