Strengths
Proficient Your knowledge of curriculum standards was
/ L3 evidenced by your lesson plans, learning targets and
instructional strategies.
Proficient Your lesson plans included content appropriate
/ L3 learning targets and identified both large group and
small group activities. You were well prepared with
materials needed for each activity.
Proficient You worked with a small group during math on
/ L3 graphing while other students worked independently
at their desks on a variety of activities. You modeled
how to graph information based on student responses
and then each student graphed the information on
his/her personal graph. Students working
independently were actively engaged in activities on
ten frames, graphing, and counting objects.
Unrated
Proficient You monitored progress of students in your group and
/ L3 on several occasions when you circulated around the
room. The paraprofessional also helped support
students and check for understanding.
Unrated
Proficient Your classroom was a positive, calm environment.
/ L3 You had music playing and a fireplace burning on the
screen. You may want to turn the music down a bit in
case any students are distracted by the higher volume.
Proficient Students were actively engaged whether working with
/ L3 you or working independently. Transitions were quick
and smooth as you used cues for gaining students'
attention such as clapping, "hands on top... everyone
stop"; therefore, learning time was maximized. Some
students were working on an extension activity in
which they created and then wrote about a gingerbread
trap.
