Observation Time

-
Bellow is my reflection of an observation I have had in term 4.

Reflective Questions Observation - School-wide Expectations - Teacher Practice


  1. What went well?
My manner with students was highlighted as very positive.
The link from content to the overall project
The delivery of content and skills taught were done in a way all students could get onboard with.
The hum of work being done by students.



  1. Work through your observation notes and record;


Deliberate acts of Teaching
Outcome
‘Walt’ written and spoken at the start of the lesson.


I modeled the task visually thru the tv screen and demoed many tasks they were doing

Students understood what they were learning for the lesson.
I also linked it back to the previous lesson

Students direction was channeled at the task involved. We did a ‘dice’ which everyone familiar with, making the task do-albe for all students.


  1. What do you think the students learned as a result of this lesson?
They learned that in 3d modeling you create models with specific dimension. They built on previous knowledge and grew in competence to go on to the future task (3d label for our Easel).



  1. What do you need to work on in relation to;
Teacher

More Maori reo integration into projects and tasks.
These future steps have been recorded in observation notes.

Roll Away The Rows

In the picture shown, this is about my third attempt this year to arrange the class in a away that would help students work well together and also when when assigned with individual activities. Discerning students who are likely to jell together and work cooperatively is a skill that is in the process of development. However, the physical classroom is like a working canvas. Quite often I roam other classes to see how other teachers like to arrange their rooms. What I have seen work well through class observations, is having space for small group work, and desk group space. Providing and area for small group work is extremely important as both teacher and student can be in a comfortable space without the feeling of being crammed in like tuna inside a can. This then can set the scene for engaging learning!

Capturing Student Learning using DT

What: Over the last month I have been exploring a new add-on on chrome called 'Screen Castify'. It captures the current action either I or the student is doing. So what: It is a good platform that gets students from the 'user' stage, to the 'creator' stage. Plus it captures what students have learned. Moreover, it helps students grow their communication skills, by having to keep their oral speech engaging. Now what: My goal is to share this with the staff a resource tool for them to use in their classroom. Additionally, I will be using this in my Wednesday group so that students can have a play and build their skills.

I'll shoot hops sometimes when I'm on duty. Have a joke around with them (but there is a line, and they should know it). Resource from the session: What area can I/we work on?
