POST-TEACHING
Reflections
I felt that the lesson went well. I only wish I had more time to review the
PowerPoint because I fumbled a couple of times during my presentation. I
feel that more practice time would have fixed this problem.
Data Based Decision Making
Based on the student work I graded, I know that the students understood the
concepts and listened during my presentation. Overall, I am pleased with the
experience.
