10. Lesson Reflection to complete only after you have taught:

1. To what extent did the students meet the learning objective(s), and what evidence do you have to
support your conclusion?
2. Based on the success in achieving the objective, what would be your next instructional steps?
3. What aspects of the lesson went well, and how do you know?
4. What would you do differently next time, and how did you know this part of the lesson did not
work as well as it could have for you and/or the students?
