Reflection Pl An Evaluation Of A Lesson Plan

Through the implementation of my lesson, I learned I have to work on the assessment and the details of lesson planning. During the planning of this lesson, the assessment was an aspect that needed more thought. The students had a problem with reading the words for the word sort and understanding the writing section. If I were to reteach the lesson I would add pictures to the words on the word sort to help the students to read and understand the words. In addition, I would include a sentence strip for the assessment that the students could copy but then finish the sentence on their own. The writing prompt was too hard for the students, I received various answers some students copied the prompt only while other students understood it and wrote appropriate answers. Also, in the beginning of the lesson I gave the students clear directions of what I expected of the students. I had the students repeat the expectations back to me which was a success since they understood and did what was expected. After the activity, the students were supposed to complete a word sort and then a writing prompt. During the writing and the sort, I did not give clear instructions which affected the students and how they completed the assessment. The next time I teach a lesson, I need to focus more on directions and giving detailed …show more content…

In the beginning I was hesitant of having four first graders working together to decide and agree on five items. While walking around and checking in with the groups I realized the students were working together and were talking through the ideas together. I thought this aspect of the lesson was a success because the students are in groups of higher-level students and lower-level students, as I walked around I heard the lower level students explaining their thinking and teaching the higher-level

    In Ms. Hall’s seventh period ESL freshman biology class I chose to do a write around or pass a question formative assessment probe. I came up with three different questions and printed each one on an individual sheet of paper. The three questions were; 1. What is one thing you were surprised to learn about the past few weeks about genetics, what is one thing you wish you could learn more about related to genetics, what was the hardest topic for you to learn or that you are still confused about? I started the class by talking about what the purpose of the write around activity was. I informed them that this activity was an opportunity for them to reflect and talk about the lesson they were working on and also an opportunity for me to read about what students thought about their genetics unit. I placed students into groups of three and then asked them to read the first question and take 2 minutes to write as much as they could about the question at hand. If students were confused at the question at all I encouraged them to ask me about their confusion or ways in which to respond. After the 2 minute time slot students then passed that question to and the next person would spend 2 minutes to respond to the previous person’s comments or respond to that new question as well. This was repeated one more time so each student had an opportunity to respond to each question prompt. The classroom consist of 17 students whose first language is not English. Primary languages of the students in the class consist of Spanish, Arabic, Russian and Polish.

    The students worked diligently and produced some great work, however, one thing that may be helpful during the next implementation of this lesson may be to group students, specifically, to mix skill levels. The teacher candidate noticed that most students chose to sit with their friends, most being on the same level of academic ability, leading to students getting off task or misunderstanding directions. If the students were assigned to groups that contained a diverse collection of skill levels then, they could use their strengths and weaknesses to learn from one

    The first step in assessment development is to create an assessment plan or blueprint that should identify the material to be tested.

    Teachers would share information and research as well as their own experiences to support and develop the grading reform. An English teacher had shared her experience on using the method of practicing and retaking for her assessments. Students who didn’t do well in a section the first time had the chance to put their practice into extra work for the second time, and the grading of that work had replaced the first. As a result, more than 65% of her students scores had increased and they were able to master the skill. This development had strengthen their grading.

    At one point, for instance 4 minutes 3 seconds into clip 1, the class was getting a bit noisy and I tried to talk over them. Instead, I should have tried a method the teacher uses, such as clapping or closing the lights. It is important to never try to talk over the class or compete with them. At 2 minutes and 38 seconds in clip 2, I began to distribute the graphic organizers and send the students back to their groups to work with their partner. At this point, I noticed I was a bit unorganized and this could have gone smoother. When I was distributing the papers the class was getting chatty and impatient. For future lessons, I plan to do this differently. Perhaps, I could have a paper monitor hand out the papers or could have the students line up and take one. I will also work on giving perfectly clear directions to ensure all of my students are on task and understand. Next time, I will ask a student to repeat my instructions after I have given them to ensure they were listening and are ready to move on. For example, in clip 1 at 2 minutes and 19 seconds, I asked, “Did everyone hear what he read for us?” Next time, I will ask a student to repeat what was actually said. Another thing I would do is work a little bit more with the weekend motivation I began my lesson with. After I retold the class my weekend, I could have worked a little bit more with that example at about 40 seconds into clip 1. Next time, I will ask the class to turn and talk quickly to their partner and retell them their own weekends in order using details. This gives the students a chance to interact with their peers while retelling and personalizing the information. Also, I would enforce sequencing vocabulary a bit more in the responses on the graphic organizer. The organizer was broken up into columns labeled beginning, middle, and end. In the columns I feel it would be better if there was more

    ...properly do this. Depending on what the lesson was, will depend on which method you would use. There are some objectives you want to look at when deciding on the test procedures and material. First you want to make sure that the intent is specific. You want to make sure that the action you want accomplished is well understood. Then you want to make the outcome measurable. You want to make sure you can properly grade the results on quality and quantity. You will also want to make sure that the assessment is achievable. Is it reasonable to finish with the specified amount of time given? Next is, is it realistic to accomplish. Is the assessment a realistic goal that the student can accomplish with the information he/she was taught? Another factor you will want to look at is the time you give to accomplish the task. Is the evaluation a fixed time or is it opened ended?

    Looking back over the course of the semester, I feel that I learned many new and interesting uses for technology within the classroom – both for classrooms that have a lot of technology and for classrooms that are limited with technology. For the majority of the class, we utilized William Kists’ book The Socially Networked Classroom: Teaching in the New Media Age (2010), which provided multiple modes of instruction that both utilized and/or created technology. One of the first things that I remember, and consequently that stuck with me through the course’s entirety, is that individuals must treat everything as a text. Even a garden is a text. The statement made me change the way that I traditionally viewed Language Arts both as a student and as a teacher, as I very narrowly saw literature and works of the like as texts only; however, by considering nearly anything as a text, one can analyze, study, and even expand his/her knowledge. Kist (2010) states that society is “experiencing a vast transformation of the way we “read” and “write,” and a broadening of the way we conceptualize “literacy” (p. 2). In order to begin to experience and learn with the modern classroom and technologically advanced students, individuals must begin to see new things as literature and analyze those things in a similar manner.

    I coached and gave curriculum-base assessments and observation assessments throughout the activities, because each activity was at a higher level and I had to make sure they were ready for the next activity, considering time limit. Example of activity 1, I wanted to give the students an activity that consisted of new learning so I could assess problem-solving by using scheme, adaptation assimilation, accommodation, and equilibration skill. The activity consists of reading a pie diagram, fraction of a whole and relating it to real live situation (paying monthly bills). They responded to three questions that related to the whole pie. I put a whole pie on the board and labeled it $100. I then put two-half of a pie on the board and labeled them $50. Then I put four equal pieces on the board and labeled them $25. I explained $100 is a whole. Counted the two pieces of pie and explained two $50 add up to $100. I then told the students we are going to pretend the pie and pieces of pie is money and you are going to pay bills with it. I drew pictures on index cards. A house was labeled $100 etc., groceries labeled $50 etc., light bulb for light bill labeled $25 etc. and gas bill labeled $25 etc. There were many bills to choose from and the bills mention is the example student chose. Students took turns paying bills to spend a $100. They could not go spend below or above a $100. If

    It is the responsibility for teachers to create a healthy learning environment that is physically, emotionally and intellectually safe, clean and secure for all children. I believe effective classrooms are places where children feel well cared for and safe. They are places where children should be valued as individuals and where their needs for attention, approval, and affection are supported. They are also places where children can be helped to acquire a strong foundation of / for the knowledge and skills needed for school success. Effective teachers and child care providers: Plan activities that have a purpose and that challenge children, know how to help children learn to work together and to resolve their conflicts. Know how to set up and maintain order for a classroom, but in a way that permits the children to learn how to take part in and enjoy learning.

    In the process of completing this coursework, I have realised that every teacher should be all-rounded and equipped with adequate skills of educating others as well as self-learning. As a future educator, we need make sure that our knowledge is always up-to-date and applicable in the process of teaching and learning from time to time. With these skills, we will be able to improvise and improve the lesson and therefore boost the competency of pupils in the process of learning. In the process of planning a lesson, I have changed my perception on lesson planning from the student’s desk to the teacher’s desk. I have taken the responsibility as a teacher to plan a whole 60-minutes lesson with my group members. This coursework has given me an opportunity

    As I reflect on my past assessment process, I realized how much my assessments have changed over the years. In my early years, I used tests for informational recall as my assessments. I felt these were appropriate guidelines in which I needed to follow in order to substantiate a student’s grade. Every assignment or tests was given a point value and then based on the amount of points, a grade was given. Every student’s assessment was exactly the same, and the assessments did not contain any subjectivity. I felt confident in giving the grade based on a valid point system. However reflecting back, I see that I did not include any performance-based assessments or individual learning styles in my early assessment. I also did not take into consideration the individual needs of my students. My assessment approach was awful. I am embarrassed that I use to assess students in this manner.
