During the alphabet song, Muna mimics/models what her MST is doing (as she is
not leading this part of the lesson). Muna participates very actively and very
enthusiastically. Good!
When she makes her way to the different centers, Muna does a great job questioning
students and providing them with individualized support. She helps students
complete their tasks independently.
Resources were well prepared and the learning activities were relatively suitable for
the different levels.
Muna used English as the language of instruction. She rarely resorted to Arabic
translation. Great!
Muna has obviously established very good relationships with her students. They
respect her and they like working under her leadership. Muna is patient and caring;
she also demonstrates great confidence in front of the class and she is able to instill a
very positive and productive atmosphere.
Muna appeared very comfortable in this context: with a little more experience
(especially in classroom management), I know that she will make an excellent
teacher! She understands teaching and learning, and she is a natural at working with
children!
When she takes over from her MST, Muna sends students to their respective centers
and THEN proceeds to give (lengthy) instructions to each group, separately. The
result is that many students are waiting some wait quite a while - for Muna with
nothing to do (no instructions even to get started).
Why not have given students at least a few instructions so that they could begin their
respective activities (before sending them off to their centers)?
Also, some reminders related to rules and procedures should always be given to
students before sending them off to work independently.
Many students stood and went to Muna to show her their work, after they had
finished. This can eventually make classroom management very challenging. Hence,
Muna should have instructed students about what to do after completing the task
earlier in the lesson.
I feel that the students (group) working on the volcano unnecessarily took up too
much of Munas time. Here, most of Munas time was used (NOT on giving
explanations, or having discussions about volcanos) on how to put together the craft
activity. Because Monas time is so precious and could have been utilized much
more efficiently and productively she should simply have given a pre-prepared
model of the craft for students to refer to (instead of spending so much time making it
with them, while so many other students needed her support).
Muna is very comfortable using spoken English. Nevertheless, she must continue to
improve her speaking skills as a few language errors were heard during the lesson.

V - Critical Reflection
X
E
Gather and collate documentation that supports and promotes reflection on aspects
of own teaching and learning
Observed Strengths:
Model what is expected from teacher when assigning work, i.e. make a center a whole group activity to
ensure understanding
Develop lesson and centers a week prior to delivering lesson to allow time for prep work
Allow students to engage in more hands on experiences and exploration rather than only worksheets
Ask open ended questions to encourage a variety of answers from students
Create centers for all different types of learners; Science: external features of living things-exploring
different textures, listening center(video on animals), guided reading(Animal Coats book), sorting fruits,
vegetables and animals according to their outside coat, etc.
General Comments:
Ms. Muna was a pleasure to work with. She showed a willingness to learn and the students loved having
her in the classroom. She always took initiative and will be a great teacher in the near future.
