lesson? How did your colleague react to your assessment? Did she agree with your evaluation?
Which of the suggestions you made will your colleague apply in her next lesson? Do you and your
colleague feel that this was a valuable experience? Why/Why not?

The lesson was very good and my colleague had good strategies to the lesson. She achieved her goals of the
lesson as she as wrote them in the lesson plan. She went to the lesson step by step smoothly. I have discussed the
strengths and the weakness with her and she accepted what i say. I suggested that she need to give student
enough time as they need during do their activity. Another point we have discussed that she need to be attention
about students who don’t engage during activity and assessment. Also, we have discussed about giving student a
chance if someone doesn’t answer right. She told me that she turns to another student to avoid wasting time but
i think that it’s important to give them a chance to think to get correct answer. The experience was a valuable
because she has taken attention about some of her weakness she will try to fix it in the next lesson.
