 Post Rehearsal or Lesson Reflections

Content Adjustment: Based on diagnostic and formative assessments during today’s lesson/rehearsal, list any repertoire
or activities that were omitted from the plan. Why? Will the omitted items need to be included in tomorrow’s
lesson/rehearsal?

N/A

Rehearsal or Lesson Adjustment: If you were going to re-teach today’s lesson/rehearsal, how would you have done it
differently.

I would have found more ways to clean this up so they had different learning experiences.

Reflection on Teaching: Analyze and evaluate your lesson/rehearsal and classroom management.

This was intimidating but exciting as I don’t know much about saxophone. The students responded well and were very well
behaved.
