As an Observer

Teacher: Zach ConradSubject: Mathematics (Algebra)Grade 10

I observed………

Learning Objectives: Clearly stated

Learning outcomes: set by the teacher

Physical Resources: Classroom ambience, stationary & technology related tools

Pedagogies Used: Performance task was given during a revision class and personal approach.Individualized Instruction

Students were working on the problems given by the teacher, discussing with peers and then discussing with the teacher.

Assessment for learning:1.Complete the problems correctly2.Help their peers3.Discuss solution with teacher

Approach :Learner’s Centric

Reflection

The lesson objectives and expectations were not communicated to pupils –though they were mentioned in the lesson plan.The teacher has established a very good relationship with pupils.

The class was rather quiet & passive – some passive kids could have been checked (learning environment)

Modelling could have been used to help pupils recall & learn during revision class.Although the teacher checked & discussed with individual pupils but he could have addressed the common problems in the class.
