How did you know if the students learned what you taught them? What did you learn from
listening to student responses, examining their work or observing their interactions? How well
did your assessments connect to the lesson objectives?
I knew the students understood what I had taught them when they came up with their own fact
and opinion statements. I learned that the chart we created in the beginning really helped them
see the difference between a fact and opinion. They struggled with making the chart, but I feel
when they were sharing their sentences, they nailed fact vs. opinion. The assessment was
displaying that they could write a fact and an opinion statement; therefore, showing they knew
the difference between the two.
Professional Responsibilities:
How did you seek feedback from your cooperating teacher? What did you learn from his/her
feedback and how did you apply it to your lesson?
I was able to discuss my lesson with my CT before hand, and she told me that I had it all put
together well and it sounded fine. I took this feedback and made sure through my lesson I stayed
with the organized way I had it planned out.
Reflection:
What did you learn about teaching, student learning and assessing from this lesson? How would
you use what you learned for future instructional experiences? Based on this lesson, what
Wisconsin Teaching Standard represents your area of greatest growth this semester? What
standard represents an area of further development for you? Why?
I learned that you can write out a fully, detailed lesson, but it can all change in the matter
of seconds if your students are not responding how you planned for your lesson. In the
future, I would make sure not to worry if I have to cut certain parts out of a lesson I had
planned due to students taking longer on a section. If they are struggling on a part, do not
just move on, but take the time needed to make sure the students truly understand. One
grow I saw in this lesson was Standard #2: The teacher understands how children learn
and develop, and can provide learning opportunities that support their intellectual, social,
and personal development. I did an activity that is can build personal development
because they were practicing their typing skills which will benefit in the future. Also,
intellectually, they were being challenged with their knowledge of facts and opinions, but
I believe they did grow. Lastly, I developed their social skills by having a bit of group
work to do and they had to work and talk with other peers. A standard that could use
more development is Standard #3: The teacher understands how pupils differ in their
approaches to learning and the barriers that impede learning and can adapt instruction to
meet the diverse needs of pupils, including those with disabilities and exceptionalities. I
felt when I was helping students; I tried helping them all in the same way. I never
stopped to think that well this student may not understand it this way, and now think of
another way to explain. I need to develop more strategies of helping a struggling student
because they all do not learn the same way and understand the same things.
