Evaluation turned in sometime this week.
Reading Demonstration - type a Reflection on Lessons in Field-based settings Type a response to your lesson presenting an early literacy lesson to young children. Use your lesson plan and the Mentor Evaluation as a guide, but mostly reflect on the learning(s) that occurred during the lesson – your learning, not the children’s. Consider these questions as prods to provoke your thinking, not prompts for you to literally answer each one: What did your prepare for that went really well, according to plan? What did you NOT prepare for that came up spontaneously that went really well? What did your prepare for that did NOT go well at all? What did you NOT prepare for that did NOT go well at all? What comments by your Mentor surprised you? How did the children’s response, involvement, engagement, and questions shape your instruction? What are you going to do differently next time you present this lesson? |
