Observation #: 3
Pre-observation: (plan in on time, detailed, state and local
standards, clear intent)
Lesson plan was submitted well in advance of observation. It was
detailed and complete. It met all standards determined by the
local school division and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Planning: (measureable objectives, variety of strategies,
interdisciplinary, appropriate strategies to meet specific needs of
students, designed to advance learning)
Ms. Mustaki created an excellent lesson plan that contained a
variety of engaging activities for her students. Sufficient
challenge was included.
Learner Development and Differences: (developmentally
appropriate instruction, meets soc/emot needs, activities are
meaningful and appropriately challenging)
Reading level for all 5 students is below grade level. Math levels
are varied. Ms. Mustaki addressed these differences with constant
individual help.
first part of the lesson on the board they encouraged each other
and paid attention to each other.
Lesson Presentation: (clear start, prior knowledge, materials
ready, states objectives, high expectations, check for mastery as
lesson proceeds, moves about classroom, wait time, clear end
review, transition, homework)
Lesson began with an established routine of journal writing. Ms.
Mustaki instructed them to write about 5 things that the students
did during their week of snow days. She encouraged them to
write at least 6 sentences. She also reminded them of how much
time they had remaining. As they worked she often helped them
to spell a challenging word. She collected the notebooks at the
end of the writing time.
She indicated that the students were going to begin with Math
and work on using coordinates. She told them they would begin
with a BrainPop video and quickly accessed the video for the
students to view. This particular brand of instructional videos is
an excellent choice as they are both informative and age
appropriately entertaining. Students watched and listened well.
One student was a bit reluctant. Ms. Mustaki urged her gently to
move her chair so she could see better. This was enough to get
the student on track and paying better attention.
Ms. Mustaki had a coordinate plane drawn on the board. She
asked good questions and students helped her to label the x and
y axis and the quadrants I-IV. Her explanations were very clear
and students paid close attention. She gave them a fun way to
remember the positive/negative parts of the plane using the
Mario video game. She provided several ordered pairs and guided
students to place them correctly on the plane. Each student was
given a post it note with different coordinates on them. She
created little Mario figures for students to place on the plane that
indicated the placement of the coordinates.
She then distributed a worksheet for independent work. She
moved from student to student as they worked and she checked
their responses when they were finished. There were students
