Please add specific comments about the student teachers observed strengths during this
teaching practicum and identify areas in which you feel further development is
necessary.

Observed Strengths: / Areas in which further development is needed:

Great job connecting current lesson to the Classroom arrangement and

previous one
Characteristics of the moon were
discussed. Great use of scientific term
such as predicting. Students were asked
to predict the next phase of the moon
Planning for Learning objectives
were clear and the activities were in
alignments. The activity had a level of
creativity. The students were to solve a
riddle about the different phases of the
moon. The video followed helped
students better understand the concept.
Managing Learning various
activities were used and you encouraged
students to participate.
General Comments:
management arrange the classroom in a way to
maximize cooperation. Students were sitting in pair
and yet they were asked to work in four. Have
enough materials for the groups. In addition, some
of the students were not focus and you have to
address these issues.
Monitoring and Assessment students
progress were not monitored throughout the lesson.
You must, during various time in the lesson, check
students understanding individually, in pairs, or in
group.
Reflection

You have done a much better job during this lesson than previous one. The objectives of the lesson
were clear and the activities were in alignment. I particularly enjoyed the riddle activity which was later
supported by the video on the different phases of the moon. The questions used during the explaining
session really helped the students who were having difficulties understand the concept. Various
activities were used during the lesson.
You are still struggling with providing students with clear instructions and keeping the class on task and
focused. The demonstration you used during the flashlight and the ball could have really helped and it
is one of the better demonstrations a teacher can use to help young children understand the phases of
the moon. However, the instructions provided to the students were incoherent. The other issue which
needs to improve is behavior management strategies to keep the class focus. There were too many
occasions in which the students were off task and you made no attempt to address their behaviors.
