    The teacher observed a math lesson where students learned to decompose shapes to find total area. Some changes were made from the original lesson plan, including having a larger group than expected. In the future, the teacher would spend more time with one distracted student. The students enjoyed making indoor playgrounds and labeling shapes to find area. One normally struggling student helped his peers, which surprised the teacher. The teacher will use information from the lesson to better accommodate ESOL students in future lessons.

    Professor Andrea Willson
    Observation Reflection #2- Supervisor Observation on Discomposing Shapes to find Total
    Area
    1. What aspects of your lesson were implemented differently than you
    planned? Why did that happen?
    There were a few things that changed while I was doing this
    lesson. The major change was that I had a larger group then I had
    planned for. While this was a change I feel that I handled the change
    very well by tweaking my plan of questioning to better include all of
    my students and their needs.
    2. If you were going to teach this lesson to the same group of students,
    what would you do differently? Why? What would you do the same?
    Why?
    The one thing I would change for this group would be to better
    balance instruction between the students. I feel like I needed to spend
    more time with one of the students in the group who was rather
    distracted and needed to be guided through the lesson.
    3. What surprised you in your lesson?

    One thing that surprised me about my lesson was how much the
    students got into making their indoor playgrounds and labeling them to
    find the area using a formula.
    4. Describe an instance or particular encounter that comes to mind. Why
    did you pick that instance? What is so perplexing about that particular
    moment?
    The event I picked was when my normally struggling student was
    at the front of the pack. He was able self-monitor to ask questions and
    able to help a few of his peers. I loved seeing this in him.
    5. What connections can you make to your lesson today from your
    coursework, the literature, and any previous lessons or experiences?
    The biggest connection that can be made is to my instructional
    planning class where we are learning about the focuses of planning a
    worthwhile lesson.
    Analysis
    1. To what extent did the students learn what was intended? How do you
    know?
    The students learned what was intended, how to decompose
    shapes. I know this because every student was able to split up the
    shape into smaller shapes.
    a. In what ways were your teaching methods effective? How do you
    know?
    The teaching method was effective in the way that the
    students were able to use instruction to respond to a real life
    context problem.
    b. In what ways were your activities effective? How do you know?

    The activity was effective in the way that it presented in a


    way that the student enjoyed and got excited about.
    c. In what ways were the instructional materials effective?
    Having the student use colors for color coding allowed
    them to easily see the rooms they were making and if they could
    us the formula or not on them.
    d. How did any special considerations of the accommodations affect
    the lesson?
    Since this was a small group of on-level students I did not
    offer any accommodations for these students.
    2. Identify an individual or groups of students who had difficulty in todays
    lesson. How do you account for this performance? How will you help
    this (these) student(s) achieve the learning objectives?
    There was one student who really struggled to stay motivated
    during this lesson. In the future I will help this type of student by
    including more of their interest in order to keep him interested in the
    lesson.
    3. Identify an individual or group of students who did especially well in
    this lesson today. How do you account for this performance?
    There was one student who sailed through this lesson in order to
    account for this in the future I will have some more higher order
    thinking questions for these students.
    4. Based on what happened in this lesson, what are the next steps? What
    do you plan to teach next to this class? Be sure to explain how you will
    use information from this evaluation in future lesson planning?
    The next step for this lesson is to find a way to add
    accommodation and modifications for ESOL students since it is

    primarily based on reading the instructions and understanding what an


    indoor playground would be.
