REFLECTION AFTER LESSON


How can I use the assessment data to reflect on & evaluate the outcomes of teaching and learning? How can I transfer what I learned from teaching this lesson to future teaching? What was effective and not effective? What goals can I set to improve my practice and student learning? I thought the lesson went well. I learned how important it is to allow students to have enough time to finish drawing. This lesson was observed and it felt a little rushed. I would have liked to give the students more time to complete the assignment. It was really effective to have a picture of my grandpa for the students to see. It was ineffective to not give students enough time to complete the assignment. I want to work on asking the high learners more questions.

How can I use the assessment data to reflect on & evaluate the outcomes of teaching and learning? How can I transfer what I learned from teaching this lesson to future teaching? What was effective and not effective? What goals can I set to improve my practice and student learning? I thought this lesson went really well. My students understood what American symbols are and what they represent. I thought that both classes did really well at following directions. I learned that it is important to take the time to answer students questions. I should have made extra time to allow students to ask questions about American symbols. I thought the activities I had the students do were effective. I thought that my pacing for assessment felt rushed. I think that the biggest goal for me is to not talk and walk. I need to work on staying in one place when I give directions.

REFLECTION AFTER LESSON


How can I use the assessment data to reflect on & evaluate the outcomes of teaching and learning? How can I transfer what I learned from teaching this lesson to future teaching? What was effective and not effective? What goals can I set to improve my practice and student learning? I thought this lesson went well. I think that having the students that were doing a great job at singing was really effective. I think that the lesson could have been shorter. The students started to get bored

with doing the song many times. I want to continue to use student examples to look to when we are practicing a song. The students really enjoyed standing in front of the class.

What was effective and not effective? What goals can I set to improve my practice and student learning? I thought the lesson went well. I learned how important it is to make sure the students know the Pledge of Allegiance. There were a lot of students who did not know the Pledge of Allegiance when they said it by themselves. It was effective to have the students say the Pledge of Allegiance as a class. In my future classroom, I want to make sure that my students know the Pledge of Allegiance by the end of December.

Assessment #1 The American Symbols pretest was administered on March 17,2014. There were no students that were absent on that day. The American Symbols pretest was on American symbols. It was a fill in the blank and circle test. The purpose of the pretest was to allow me to recognize what concepts the students didnt understand yet. I used the scores to figure out who needs extra help. I focused on the questions that were missed the most when I planned my lessons.

Class Analysis

The chart listed below show the students correct responses on the pretest. This pretest had a total of ten questions that were each worth one point. The students did not do well on this assessment because the information had not been taught before.

44% 56% Boys Girls

This chart shows that the girls did better on the pre-test than the boys did. Three Student Analyses There were three students that I chose to compare scores with each other. The first student is a male. He is a high level learner. He is not considered a GATE student. He scored ninety percent on his pre-test. The next student I compared scores with is a female student. She scored sixty percent on her pretest. The last student I compared scores with is a male. He is a struggling learner. He scored fifty percent on his pretest. Pretest (student analyzed)

From this data, I found that the high learner (student 1) did not improve his score. He doesnt know what the Utah state flag looks like. I found that student three made big improvements from her pre-test to post-test score. She got the bonus question

right. I found that student number seventeen did not improve his score. He still needs help labeling and listening to directions. Three Student Analyses I think that the high learner could have benefited from having me read the question slower. I was shocked when I saw student number threes results. I could not believe that she did so well on the test. Student number seventeen could have benefited from having a longer time to take the test. I forgot to give him more time. He could have benefited from taking the test the day before. Class Synthesis As I look back on the day this assessment took place, there would be some changes I would make to help my students succeed. I dont think that I will ever give a kindergarten a test on a Friday. It was a busy day and there were some students who did not listen to directions. I really liked having the bonus question on the test.

Reflection and Self Evaluation DM1 Diversity I believe that it is very important for teachers to connect the curriculum to the topic they are teaching. One of the different ways that I connected the to my students culture was to explain that America is filled with people from different countries. DM2 Effective Pedagogy I used technology in every lesson I taught. I used a website called Brain Pop Jr for the most of my lessons. I used this website because it gave students valuable information about the United States. On this website, there are short videos that teach young students about different topics. It also introduces vocabulary for the lesson. I used this technology because I was able to have the students complete an online quiz after the short video. I also played short little clips about the Pledge of Allegiance on YouTube.

DM3 Subject Matter Before I taught my unit, I did a lot of research about the American symbols. I learned about what the colors of the American flag represent. I learned about the Statue of Liberty. I researched information about the liberty bell. I looked at different songs to teach my students. I learned about flag etiquette.

DM4 Environment

I believe that the best way to create a safe classroom environment is to make sure that everyone is giving respect. When a student was talking and others around them were not listening, I asked the student to wait. I had my students work together to talk about different things. I believe that the best way to create a safe environment is to get students talking with each other. I will often have my students give complements to each other for assignments they have done. DM5 Reflection The data I collected from my Teacher Work Sample has really helped me understand that you cant always predict outcomes. I thought that the students in my afternoon class would all get the bonus question right. The results show however, that the morning class had three students get the bonus question right.

DM6 Teaching Dispositions I have learned many things by doing this Teacher Work Sample. My confidence has grown since I began student teaching. I am no longer nervous when my supervisor observes me. I have learned to love kindergarten. I have found that my strong relationships I have built with others has helped me to have a successful student teaching experience. I love talking with my students parents. I enjoy working with my mentor teacher. It was amazing to see how quickly we began working as a team. My students all know that I love them ,and they all come to school excited to learn.
