Lesson Analysis & Reflection
The lesson analysis and reflection will be over a mathematics lesson taught to a small group of second graders in a resource room. The timing of this lesson was appropriate. I had enough time to go over the lesson thoroughly. I finished a few minutes early and was able to re-iterate the strategies taught during the lesson. I was also able to implement more problems to make the lesson more concrete for a better understanding of the strategy.
The benefits of this strategy is the students can use the method grouping by five in order to subtract nine in other areas of mathematics including multiplication and addition. The drawbacks of the strategy is it can be challenging for younger students to understand why they

Maybe more technology included could have made the lesson better. I probably didn 't ask enough questions due to the fact that my students did not fully grasp the strategy. They seem to comprehend the strategy partially. I could have asked questions like; "Do you know why we are doing this?” I could 've also if there was anything that they would like to ask me about the overall lesson or method in completing the problems.
How I plan for the differentiation lesson was observing and analyzing heir assessment to find their problem areas and pinpoint where I needed to go back and start for them to have a clear understanding of the strategy. Where the students had trouble counting numbers I made a note of that so that way in the reengagement lesson we would go over numbers up to 19. They need to know the numbers they would be working with. They needed to recognize and know those numbers in order to be successful with subtracting nine from teen numbers. So, I went over teen

I want them to learn the strategies or methods and not regress soon after. This will show no improvement or progress being made. I am concerned that some of my students learn very differently from others so their way of learning will not always be accommodate their styles of learning and they will have to find other ways to learn the strategies and make it stick.
The students were engaged and motivated because I called upon them to answer questions and throughout the lesson they would raise their hands eager to tell me the answer or explain the process without me coaxing them.
The lesson motivated the students to be engaged because it used Smart Board technology and the students loved to be interactive while learning. It was also engaging because the students feel comfortable with subtractions and wanted to learn more about the strategy of subtracting nine from teen numbers. I saw moments when the students were working they would say, “Oh, I got it now.” Or “Now I understand.” to themselves out loud. There was one student that was disengage but this student happens to be very nonchalant an introverted and nothing seems to excite

    Based on data I collected from coach observations, peer observations, and feedback I decided to focus on OETF indicator 1.B.1: Plans meaningful tasks that require student ownership. Upon determining that indicator and creating a teacher practice goal based on the data I collected, I began to further breakdown my observation feedback and use that as a baseline level. I noticed from my initial feedback that all of my students were not engaging in the task completely. I felt as though I could better support my students as I want them to all feel successful. In order to do that I worked with my coach and reflected on my task and how it could be adapted in the planning stage to be more meaningful.…

    Student engagement is considered to be of the most vital factors of classroom learning and personal development. The more students apply their lessons to the outside world, the more students will be able to retain that information and expand on it. The reason why interactive activities, such as the ones done in class, are so effective is because we get a chance to be involved in the way we learn. The very traditional style of learning is by sitting, listening to the teacher and hopefully retaining as much information as possible.…

    As the teaching session progressed, the students remained focused and paid attention to the topics on the PowerPoint and the extra explanations I was saying. They continued to actively participate by answering various questions and completing their notes with the missing key words. The general delivery of the teaching went well as shown by an average SET score of 4.2 for question 1 (Table 1). I spoke in a clear and concise manor which enabled the students to understand my descriptions and explanations of concepts clearly, and allowed them to have enough time to make any extra notes they wanted to write. Many students said that it was a “clear presentation and was easy to understand.”…
