Notes:
Yes I established good eye contact involving all
students.
I did not arrange my students into small groups
because my cooperating teacher informed me
that they do not work well working in groups.
Notes:
I had a student who usually sits at the very front
of the room against the white board and I
moved him into an empty desk so that he could
see all of the visuals. (I made sure this was
okay with the teacher before I asked him to
move.)
The room is actually always the perfect
temperature so the temperature of the room was
not an issue.
I had all of my materials and manipulatives
ready to use. The only thing that I did not have
up and ready was the projector and the screen,
because I needed the board cleared so that we
could measure it and write the dimensions.
Although everything was ready for the video to
be played, all I had to do is pull down the
screen, turn on the projector and press play.

Diversity
D. Culture and Adjustment
o I am aware that cultural differences affect the
learning situation.
o I keep the cultural background(s) of my
students in mind when planning daily activities
and am aware of culture misunderstandings
which might arise from the activities I choose.
o I work for an atmosphere of understanding and
mutual respect.
o I tell students when they have done well, but I
dont let praise become mechanical.
o My activites are varied, some more visual,
aural, oral and kinesthetic. I provide models,
examples, and experiences to maximize
learning in each of these areas.
Professionalism
B. Self-concepts
o I treat my students with the same respect that I
expect them to show me.
o I plan one-centred activities which give all
students an opportunity at some point to feel
important and accepted.
C. Aptitude and Perception
o I am aware that my students learn differently.
o My exercises are varied, some ore visual, aural,
oral and kinesthetic. I provide models,
Notes:
I am very aware of the cultural differences in
my classroom and how they affect learning.
I used music that I knew they would love
because they sing and dance all day, so I
thought ,Why not include it in my lesson?
I chose the activities, manipulatives and the
teaching that I presented intentionally because I
thought they would get the most out of it.
I definitely praise the students, because I want
them to not only know I am proud of their
work, but I want them to be proud of their own
work.
The activities varied and the I had several
models that I presented them with.
Notes:
I respect my students and they respect me, but
at times I do have to remind them that I am a
teacher and an adult that they must treat as they
would Mrs. Philpot.
While students worked on their shapes I walked
around and praised each of them for their work
and their initiative.
Notes:
Notes:
The activity definitely maximized student
involvement
I do think I could have had more guidelines
because yes it is goof for students to have room
to be creative, but too much room can be chaos.
I think that I should have given the students less
straws and told them to make one of the shapes
that I presented to them.
The activity was focus
Yes this activity was geared to the proficiency
level of the class and even beyond
I made the activity and its content relevant to
students and their world
