EDUC 200 Page 3 of 4 Topic Response Teacher/Student Involvement and Interaction Was the teacher able to involve all students in the learning process? How? Why or why not? How was his/her rapport among students? Was he/she able to interact? Why or why not? The teacher displayed an impressive skill in involving every student in the learning experience. To attain this objective, a range of techniques such as group tasks, partner collaborations, and games were utilized. Throughout the class, the educator made sure that students reformulated instructions or ideas in their own expressions while working in their designated groups or pairs. Simultaneously, the teacher circulated within the classroom, attentively participating in their conversations. During the Bingo section of the lesson, the teacher engaged enthusiastically with her students, demonstrating a deep connection with them. Student Achievement How can the teacher prove that students met the objective of the lesson? The teacher demonstrated that the students achieved the lesson's goal through two distinct methods. Initially, they engaged in a Bingo activity, where students responded to various questions related to the lesson's content, applying their acquired knowledge in the game. Furthermore, the teacher employed an individualized exit pass to confirm students' attainment of the lesson objective, assessing each student's comprehension of the material instead of evaluating groups. This exit pass provided the teacher with valuable insights into each student's grasp of the subject matter. Classroom Management What strategies did the teacher use to make sure students stayed on task and achieved the objective? Was he/she able to involve all students in the learning process? How? Why or why not? In addition to the previously mentioned techniques, the instructor incorporated a variety of resources to keep the class engaged. At the beginning of the session, the instructor used a projector and handed out math journals to ensure active participation and understanding among the students. Throughout the lesson, whiteboards, group activities, and helpful hints were employed to ensure everyone stayed focused on their learning objectives. Moreover, the instructor used methods like the "mirror strategy" and the "turn and talk" approach to confirm students' comprehension of instructions. The belief that the instructor effectively engaged all students in the learning process is based on their meticulous provision of necessary materials for success and their strategic arrangement of student groups within the classroom setup. Voice Was the volume of the teacher’s voice appropriate during the lesson? If not, what change is needed? What filler words did he/she use? How frequently did he/she use filler words? I think the teacher's use of volume during the lesson was just right. I made this observation because she refrained from raising her voice when students were engaged in excessive chatter. Furthermore, she maintained a level of speaking volume that allowed students to hear her clearly without it feeling like she was shouting. She also addressed students by their names and employed various teaching cues to capture their attention throughout the lesson.
