INSTRUCTION
Ability to model and support active listening, interactive discussions, and
meaningful learning
--Amber facilitated an appropriate discussion with the children. She asked
questions, answered questions and gave the students opportunities to discuss
with each other.
Ability to adjust instruction to meet students needs
--This lesson included plenty of opportunities for children to move and talk,
which is important with this age group.
Awareness of cultural and gender differences
--Amber presented the lesson on animal covering without any biases related
to cultural and/or gender.
ASSESSMENT
Use of appropriate formal and informal assessment strategies
--Amber used an informal assessment strategy; the game Walk on the Wild
Side. She had the four body coverings written on cards placed in the four
corners of the rug. As she named different animals, the children were to
stand in the corner with the appropriate sign. This gave her an idea of who
was and was not grasping the concept.
Ability to use what is learned in assessments to inform future teaching
--Amber did not teach another lesson from the animal unit; so this does not
apply.
