Not all standards will be observed during every observation. Complete appropriate standards only.

Things that are going well

Going over volume and drawing it out
then reminding them of formulas.
Using white boards, does every student
who holds is up, got the right answer,
how do you know?
You make learning fun because you are
always excited about what you are
teaching.
Walking around, asking questions,
answering questions
All of them were engaged researching
the gods and goddess. Conversations
that I could hear were right on-task.
Having back up information for more
than one or two resources to draw
from.
I really liked that you had them doing
the researching and you not doing all
of it. Independent learners!

Things to think about

Making the students go back to their
seats when they want to do what they
want to do
What do you mean by awesome, do
they know explicitly?
You have two students who had to go
up to the board to see it? Could that
be a potential problem for them when
learning?
Did you have to repeat the
instructions when you walked
aroundwhat about writing
instructions on board
Would giving benchmarks of how
many they should have done at a
certain time help?
