Grade Level: 7th and 8th

Student Reflection
I was able to collaborate a lot with my cooperating
teacher. She showed me master copies of the
worksheets shes used to teach that lesson in
previous years. I was able to use that as a base for
the lesson I created.

Level of understanding the process of

constructing a lesson plan

Id say I understand the basics of it but I still dont

know how to create a lesson plan from scratch,
which I will work on in my next lesson.

Level of planning and preparation for

lesson

I prepared and planned a lot for this lesson. I

continuously practiced and timed myself the night
before so I would be fully prepared. However, I had
not prepared for the amount of questions and the
time they would take.

Level of understanding of content

objectives

I believe I have a pretty good understanding of the

content objectives.

Level of comfort in teacher role

I feel very comfortable in front of the class teaching

them and talking to them.

Ability to maintain eye contact and

students attention

I believe that I have a very strong ability to

maintain eye contact and students attention
because I am constantly looking around to make
sure that the students are paying attention and
throughout the lesson I ask them a lot of questions
in order to keep them engaged.

Ability to effectively sequence the

lesson

I believe that I did this pretty well because I started

by talking about the previous lesson and then used
a warm-up question to lead them into the next
lesson and then taught them that lesson.

Utilizes positive reinforcement

Every time the students would answer a question

whether or not it was correct, I would tell them that
they did a good job or they put in good effort but

arent quite there yet.

Ability to effectively time each
activity
Ability to implement existing
instructional strategies and materials
to teach lesson
Level of enthusiasm and desire to
succeed

This is something that I need to work on. I kept

trying to answer each students question and didnt
consider the time that it was taking.
I incorporated many of the instructional strategies
and materials such as worksheets, teacher
instruction, and more.
I made sure that I would be wide awake that day so
that I could be enthusiastic in teaching the lesson
so that the students could be enthusiastic about
learning it.

What 3 targets would you like

most to improve?

What can you, your cooperating teacher or I

do to help you improve those
characteristics?

1. Timing

I need to keep an eye on the time throughout

the lesson and be more aware of the time
that each activity is taking.

2. More positive reinforcement

phrases

I found myself to be saying good job and

nice try a lot so I need to take another
look at my alphabet positive reinforcement
phrases so that I can use more.

3. Walking around more

I was mostly staying in one spot the whole

time I taught and I believe that in order to
keep the students attention I need to move
around so they arent looking at the same
thing the whole time. I can do this by mixing
up where/ what I am teaching. Such as,
instead of teaching through the projector the
whole time, I will also use the whiteboard a
little bit more.
