Lesson: Art/Sculpture
Preparation: Henry you were very well prepared for this creative art lesson.
Teaching /Learning materials were ready and the class was attentive. Lesson notes
were comprehensive and showed a clear understanding of the objectives of the
lesson and the methodologies you planned to implement to achieve them.
Presentation: From the very start of this lesson every child was engaged and
totally absorbed in your demonstration, asking you great questions and wanting to
get started. You answered their questions clearly. As a result each child understood
the task in hand. Well done! I was particularly impressed by the creativity you
demonstrated in this lesson.
Henry, now the lesson is over, please reflect carefully on it; make sure you celebrate
what worked well, then think about what might have been done differently and
better. Imagine that you are in your own classroom with your own class doing this
lesson without observers. Would your lesson be different?
* Rose is a complex child. Learn from your Mentor Teacher, Jess, how to best
manage her without taking too much time from others in the class.
As the term has unfolded Henry you have really improved in managing student
learning and behavior and you now look like a full-time teacher.
1 The end of term is rapidly approaching. In the time left think about the goals you
want to work toward and to achieve.
2 Youve really built an excellent foundation for full time teaching. Im excited that
Jess, your Mentor Teacher, sees and affirms the progress you have made.
3 Have a think about how you might manage a larger class in a more demanding
socio-economic context.
Lesson: Reconciliation
Presentation: You have a relaxed and functional relationship with this class. The
class responded well because you explained reconciliation in an engaging and
interesting manner that they all understood. You had some positive group activities
that students were very happy to undertake, resulting in some meaningful findings.
Students had a significantly better understanding of reconciliation at the conclusion
of your lesson. Well done!
Challenges
1 Think about managing children who seem to be struggling with an activity. Ask
yourself: How can they best be supported? The challenge is to nurture them by
giving them time without disadvantaging the rest of the class.
2 You are managing this small class positively and well. Build on your Mentor
Teachers successful strategies. At the same time reflect on what you might do if the
class was yours.
3 As you know, getting every childs attention when you are teaching is vital. Perhaps
limit the use of Shh and think of some creative alternatives.
