Today I had delays traveling into town, I was not on time and had so

2. Managing Student Behavior
Comments:

Students behaviors were under control during the class with tremendous

the class. Went from 4 to 2.

3. Presenting Tasks (e.g., use of task sheets & general & assistive
technology)
Comments:

Demonstrating each skill to the two separate groups allowed for more
individual instruction to both the students and the CTs. I still had

Having stations worked better and consistency with activities worked better
than changing the activities.

4. Assessing Student Understanding and Learning:
(formal or informal feedback)*
Comments:

My feedback is very direct and specific but I always initiate my feedback
with good job or nice. I have improved on giving specifics about what
I like. I gave more corrections today along with my feedback. I was asking
students questions about each task and the equipment being used to assess
understanding and would also have them say the key cues I wanted them to
associate with specific movements.

of 2 based on cognitive and skill level worked well, but maintaining
