INSTRUCTION

Teacher Knowledge, Skills, Dispositions Observed

<INPUT TYPE=\ CHECKBOX > MACROBUTTON HTMLDirectYou evaluated learning goals and considered alternative strategies and materials to meet student needs. <INPUT TYPE=\ CHECKBOX > MACROBUTTON HTMLDirectYou used some teaching and learning strategies to engage students in active learning opportunities. <INPUT TYPE=\ CHECKBOX > MACROBUTTON HTMLDirectYou presented concepts clearly and accurately. <INPUT TYPE=\ CHECKBOX > MACROBUTTON HTMLDirectYou were a thoughtful and responsive listener. <INPUT TYPE=\ CHECKBOX > MACROBUTTON HTMLDirectYou modeled appropriate communication strategies in conveying ideas and information and in asking questions. <INPUT TYPE=\ CHECKBOX > MACROBUTTON HTMLDirectYou communicated in ways that demonstrated sensitivity to cultural and gender differences. <INPUT TYPE=\ CHECKBOX > MACROBUTTON HTMLDirectYou connected instruction to students experiences.

Evidence (Candidate and Student)

You clearly defined each term for students and then had ways for them to actively practice that skill (matching pairs for synonyms/antonyms and identifying analogies from a poem and teacher-generated sentences). Your activities gave students chances to learn the skills through different modalities. Your processing comments/questions supported student thinking and consistently reinforced their understanding of key terms. Some ideas for future growth would include having visual examples of the key terms: providing chances to write ideas first before having to share them orally; assigning learning partners; connecting synonym/antonym concepts to word analogies (it would show how words are related)
