Week 11 Lesson Plan Analysis

926 Words4 Pages

From my Micro-teaching experience I have learned numerous ways in which to ensure that students are challenged and openly involved in the lesson. I have especially learned how to ensure that students are being challenged in a clear and precise way while being set achievable expectations. For this write-up I decided to use one of my lesson plans, more specifically my week 11 lesson plan. I decided to use this specific lesson plan as I feel it is the week which I performed to the best of my ability and it demonstrates how I set clear and challenging tasks. The sources I will use throughout the time of this essay are; Essential Teaching skills third edition by Chris Kyriacou, Understanding student motivation by Timothy Seifert and Setting Clear Learning

With clear learning targets, teachers will be able to know what to teach the students and how to go about answering them. The teacher will also be more prepared for class activities. This ensures that an effective method of assessment is installed into the class, ensuring the students’ progress is monitored and reflected upon “with clear learning targets, teachers (a) know what to teach and assess, (b) are better prepared to plan appropriate instructional activities, and (c) can develop well aligned assessment systems for monitoring student progress”( Konrad et al (2014)pg77).
If a student is in a class in which the achievable expectations are too high, the students are not going to work to the best of their ability. Although a high degree of challenge is needed to keep the students interested, students will soon give up on the challenge and begin to misbehave or become involved in activities not relating to the class work. I ensured in my lesson plan that the students were not going to fall victim to this. While planning out my lesson I ensured that the material I was going to teach was hard enough to challenge the students, yet not

    Only reading and behavior are identified as needed goal areas leaving out other academic areas, such as math and writing. However, these building goals were refined based on student’s past performance data. Datnow and Park (2014) state student achievement goals are essential to the cycle of continuous improvement and can be specific and measurable but they do not outline the details for classroom instruction and differentiation needed for every student. To help all students achieve, teachers need to systematically and routinely use data to guide instructional decisions and meet students’ learning needs. Some of the teachers in my building do a great job of implementing this cycle and other’s do not.

    (Robert J. Marzano, Classroom Assessment and Grading That Work, 2006) Students should be on an effective roadmap.

Learning targets should involve fostering student understanding of how they fit in the picture. Understanding relationships and embracing the cultures that are reflected in the classroom make it a shared curriculum by creating learning targets along the

    “The behavior of difficult-to-manage students can be improved through providing interesting lessons on topics of personal relevance that permit active involvement and lead to competencies students consider important” (Charles & Senter, 2005, p. 131). This statement summarizes perfectly the idea that when students are engaged and learning about topics that are meaningful to them, their world opens up and they begin to see a purpose in what they are doing. According to Trevor Muir, a teacher and author of The Epic Classroom, conflict can motivate students and develop a sense of curiosity (T. Muir, personal communication, February 20, 2018). When students are presented with a real world conflict, they become motivated to find a solution. Project-based

  • Instructional Leadership In The Indiana Department Of Education

    All students deserve the right to high quality and equitable programs, however, in many schools, students are continuously underserved. It is both the district and instructional leaderships’ responsibility to “set high and demanding academic, and behavior expectations for every student, ensuring all student are consistently learning” (Indiana Department of Education, 2010, p. 4). As stated by Harris, Leithwood, and Strauss (2010), “leaders believe their teaching colleagues and students are capable of much more than they have been accomplishing” thus leaders should take every opportunity to increase their expectations for students (p. 109). One way to do this is to establish academic goals that are immovable with staff and hold them to the expectation of obtaining them, Standards 5.1 and 5.2 (Indiana Department of Education, 2010, p. 4). To obtain hefty goals, especially for “students from low-income homes, students with disabilities, students who are linguistically diverse, and students of color” who often have not performed at the same level as middle class to upper class, white, English speaking students,

    Now, having no official teaching experience before, I was startled when it came time for me to design the lesson plan. My students knew literally nothing and my aims were manifold. Rather intuitively, I realized my lessons should be based on my students’ needs, so first I conducted introductory informal interviews about their goals and expectations and later while observing progress and dynamics in class, I would adjust some of the topics and activities to better suit my students’ needs. Clearly, my major goal was to improve their communicative competence, but I also kept in mind that both groups took my classes as an extracurricular activity, so I had to present these two hours in form of enjoyable intellectual stimulation, rather than a standard lesson, so it had to be structured in a way that would combine different types of activities while also engaging all four
