The video that I chose to observe for my self-study was a video of myself teaching the students about interruptions in the classroom. My objective in this lesson was to teach the students how to be respectful listeners and how to use their self-control to stop them from interrupting others. To help in guiding my self-study, I will be using a rubric from the Framework for Teaching (Danielson Group), which consists of four different domains; planning and preparation, classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibilities.
Domain 1: Planning and Preparation After observing the video, I scored myself a four in 1c: setting instructional outcomes (most outcomes represent rigorous and important learning in the discipline.) In this …show more content…
It was to teach the students how to be respectful listeners and how to use their self-control to stop them from interrupting others. At least 85% of the students will be able to remember not to erupt during a lesson or with a classmate. I scored myself a three also because I don’t believe I’m at a distinguished level. There is still room for improvement. In addition, I scored myself a three in 4a: reflecting on teaching (teacher makers general suggestions about how a lesson could be improved.). The implementation of this lesson would be at the beginning of the year. I believe that this is part of classroom management. I would like for the students to be respectful and mindful of what others in the classroom are saying. Some other things that need improvement would be my vocabulary with the usage of the statement ‘you guys’. I need to break that habit and use ‘class’ or ‘boys and girls’. Also, I would change the time limit on the writing portion of the lesson, 10 minutes is too much. I started to notice that the students were focused more on the timer on the whiteboard than the task. I would minimize the time to five minutes or just had the students all sit in a circle, and one by one they could say one thing that they learned about interruptions and that they will change in class that would have been
