Competency A Professionalism and Understanding:

You continue to demonstrate very satisfactory professionalism. The good
rapport you have established with the learners, peers, and MST should be
sustained for the rest of the practicum. There was no negative report about
your conduct from the MST - very encouraging to observe the collaboration
between the two of you during my visits.

Category B Planning for Learning:

A satisfactory lesson plan was provided in time before the lesson. Your lesson
outcomes were expressed in behavioural terms. However, the outcomes need
demonstrable verbs - avoid know. For example, They will be able to know
the email. They will be able to explain the meaning of the term email.

Category C Implementing and Managing Learning:

The lesson began promptly with a quick roll call. Then the learners were
reminded of the rules and classroom procedures. Then the learners were
engaged in a quick game to provided missing letters to words to elicit the
word 'SHIFT' for target keys on the keyboard. Could have been more precise
to include the letter 'ah' because all you had was 'SIFT' front 'Sun'; 'Ice
Cream'; 'Fruit'; 'Table'. Then the learners were engaged in a quick review of
previously covered information on some functions of keys on a keyboard. The
learners were very earner to respond and were rather boisterous nevertheless, they were able to give the correct responses. You might want to
discourage shouting when giving responses. Transition to the teaching point
about what happens when the shift key is pressed with other keys took some
effort because the boys were getting distracted- neat that you took advice
from your MST to get all the computers turned off. The teaching point was
presented very efficiently. Then the learners were instructed to open the

Rapid Typing program and tasked to practice 'Lesson 1'. The practice was
interrupted by the bell. The plenary involved the acknowledging of the best
learner for the day.

Category D Monitoring and Assessment of Learning:

You used Q & A to very good effect to engage the learners and elicit desired
responses. You did great to switch a students sitting for being too chatty with
a neighbor - you did great insisting on on-task behaviour by calling out
individual learners in a very tactful way.

Category E Reflection:
Your reflection and self-evaluation after the lesson suggests that you have the
ability to engage in proactive introspection about your teaching
effectiveness. Keep this up - reflective practice is essential for professional
growth as a teacher.

Strengths of the Lesson:

The main strengths of this lesson were: Exemplary Rapport with the learners,
learner engagement, use of Q & A., excellent classroom management, and
very smooth transitions.
Areas for Development:
Continue working on ensuring that you give a solid model of efficient ICT use:
1) lab set up - preemptively check the status of the equipment to be aware of
how many computers are available for use and the efficiency of the internet
connection - TEST them all and be prepared to target only those that are in
working order. 2) Ensure that you explicitly model the skill you are presenting
to the learners.
Focus for next lesson:
Please continue ensuring that you provide opportunities for more practice
using the target skills.
