Reflection on a Lesson Plan Taught

Virginia Teachers for Tomorrow
Intern Name: Elizabeth Cleveland
Date of Lesson Taught: 02/17/17
Cooperating Teacher: Mrs. Merce
Cooperating School: Tallwood Elementary
Subject Taught: Math
Grade: Kindergarten
Time of Day: 10:40-11:20

1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk,
discuss, or edit your lesson?
I had decided to teach a different lesson than English and my cooperating teacher
agreed. So I decided to try and teach about data. I asked her questions about the lesson
but I didnt really edit it. And now I wish I did.

2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?
It gave me a starting point. It narrowed my ideas but it helped me stay on track.

3. What parts of the instructional plan worked as you anticipated?

I think that playing the Would You Rather game worked really well in my favor. The
students loved playing and it made them more engaged and more focused.

4. What, if any, adjustments needed to be made once you began?

I think that instead of having them split off to work on the worksheet I provided with
seesaw; I would have done the worksheet as a class instead because I did not think
about the students who needed more one-on-one help.

5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed?

I thinks I was spot on with anticipating the materials need. I has everything I needed for
the lesson.

6. How effective was the assessment you chose to use? (If no assessment was
used, what will the future assessment be and how will you gauge its effectiveness?)

I dont believe that the assessment was as good as it couldve been. I should have gotten
all the students back on the carpet and discussed what they did and what they were
confused about.

 7. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do
you have for the success of the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lessons
success!)

I loved how engaged the students were in the game.

I loved how they listened to my instructions without interruptions.
They all pretty much knew what to do.
They asked questions when they were confused.

8. How did the time spent preparing for your lesson contribute to its success?
I think it had about a little over a half success rate.

9. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do
anything differently? If so, what?

I would make it less independent and more of a group effort so I could teach the lesson
more effectively. I would keep the worksheet but instead of them doing it themselves, I
would do it on the Promethean board as a class.
10. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?
I felt a lot better about this lesson than the last one I taught.
