Please add specific comments about the student teachers observed strengths
during this teaching practicum and identify areas in which you feel further
development is necessary.
Observed Strengths:

Areas in which further development is needed:

First Observation
*Great command of the class and appear very
comfortable introducing the topic of the lesson.
*Very creative way of introducing the digestive
system by allowing the students to eat the
biscuit followed by discussion.
*The elaborate portion of the lesson allowed
the students to explore the digesting system
and therefore should have been the EXPLORE
of your lesson plan.
*Very good classroom management.
The One Sentence Summary is a very good
way to evaluate students understanding of the
lesson.
Students were able to show their
understanding of the lesson in various ways:
Groups and individuals.
Second Observation
1.Students were given more time to explore
2.More student centered versus last
observation
3.Variety of activities were used throughout the
lesson.
4.The musical box is a very creative way to
conclude the lesson. Students enjoyed it while
learning.

First Observation
*Improve probing questions: What did you see? Is very
vague
*Students must be allowed to explore the concept on
their own.
*Lesson must be more student centered versus teacher
centered.
Students appear to have a very good understanding of
the
Digestive system. Differentiating the lesson would have
allowed
You to work closely with students who are having
difficulties and
Provide the others with something more challenging.
Second Observation
1. You asked the same question: What did you see?
2.The questions listed in the engagement were not
discussed
3. Provide images with the terms during your power
point.
4. Groups were too large, but I understand you had thre
iPads.
5. Fully complete your lesson plan by being as
descriptive as possible
including all materials
needed for the lesson.

General Comments: Some improvements have been made in the areas needed for developments.
However, the questioning techniques is an area in needs of further development. Students were given
more time to explore the concept of the lesson.
However the groups were too large. We must do
everything possible to keep the groups to a maximum of four. The ideal
number would be three.
