Reflection about Feedback from your observation

Teacher Candidate for Science Endorsement: Janice Belcher

Observer: Linda Huebener
School: Dowell

Grade: 3rd

Lesson Topic: Heat-What is it? and How is it transferred?

Write a brief summary based on the feedback you received from
teaching the lesson when you were observed.

What went well? What did not go well?

Students gained a deeper understanding that the source of all energy

for the earth comes solely from the sun. They also learn that heat can
be transferred from one object to another and that some materials can
keep objects hot or cold. My students need a lot of scaffolding during
this lesson.

Based on the feedback you received, reflect how this enabled

you to see your lesson in a new way.

The feedback I received allowed me to see that the best planed lesson
is wonderful. However if it is not meeting the needs of your students, it
OK to back up and try again. Honestly, this was not my best lesson. My
students were really struggling to get the basic concepts.

As a result of your observation, when you have the opportunity

to re-teach this lesson, what will you do differently (strategies,
teaching tools, assessments, etc.) to improve student learning
for all students?

Going forward when I reteach this lesson, I will start with my

demonstration first so that my students can see a visual representation
of this happening. I did not use a probe or pre assessment, but will do
so in the future.
