Tutoring Reflection
Name: Jessi Towne Lesson: Vocabulary Date: September 28, 2015
Listen to your recording and reflect on your tutoring session by addressing
the following areas. Pay specific attention to the dialogue that you have with
the tutees and what insight you can gain from that. Write a short
paragraph for each section.
1. Identify and analyze strengths of the lesson, include reflections
about written and oral comments from the Coach and/or
professional peer and insights gained after listening to your
recording. [TPE 1A, 10]
It was a lot easier to get Julian and Kendy to talk to me, since we were
familiar with one another. They both inputted a lot into the lesson and were
asking inquisitive questions. One of the comments my Coach has written
about my lesson plan is that it is really well detailed and I am always doing a
great job in keeping them engaged and interested in what I am teaching.
2. Identify and analyze problematic aspects of the lesson include
comments from the Coach, and/or professional peer and insights
gained after listening to your recording. [TPE 2,3]
There were a few things that were problems. First of all, it would have been
better quality if it was just me with my tutees, because it was a little hard to
hear Julian and Kendy with all of the other people in the room. Another
problem that I noticed is that sometimes they had trouble staying on task,
because both were talking out of turn and being distracted. Something my
Coach pointed out to me on my lesson plan was that the book I was reading
to them, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, was too much for them to
comprehend. She noticed them checking out and not paying attention as
much as they used to.
3. Describe possible changes to lesson if implemented a second
time. [TPE 9,10]
I would make sure to let Kendy and Julian know that we have to stay on task,
and not to talk while we are in the middle of the lesson. One of the
comments my Coach made about my lesson plan was that the book I was
reading aloud to them was too difficult for them to comprehend, even though
they each expressed interest in reading it. If I was able to do this lesson over
again, I would pick a book that is easier for Kendy and Julian to comprehend
so that they can understand what is going on and be able to do a better job
with writing the summary of the story.
