Unit 3: Learners will reflect on their instruction.
Learning Objectives
During this unit, learners will be able:
- to better their lesson with student feedback.
- to successfully reflect and record on their experience.
- to successfully better their lesson plan after reflection.
Unit Pre-Requistites
In order to be successful in this unit learners will need to have access to the following:
- Student feedback
- Computer
- Notebook or word processing program
- Lesson plan
Lesson 1: Learners will ask their students for feedback on the lesson.
In order to complete this lesson you need the student feedback that I mentioned in the prior unit! This lesson is very open-ended.
The feedback could have been collected the day the lesson was taught or the following day.
The feedback can be retrieved any way that you feel as though would be most beneficial to bettering your lesson.
The feedback can be anonymous so the students do not feel pressure to make you as their teacher happy.
Try to get the students to explain what they liked and disliked about the lesson.
But also have the students talk about their preferred learning styles.
For this lesson you do not need to submit anything to me.
Lesson 2: Learners will write a short personal reflection on how they felt the lesson went.
In this lesson I would like you to either in your notebook or on a word processing program. I want you to write a personal reflection. It should be no more than 2 pages. This reflection should written in a very informal way. This is really for you to better yourself as a teacher.
In this reflection I would like you address:
- The thought-process while creating the lesson plan
- The implementation of the lesson plan
- The student feedback
- Personal opinion of how you thought the lesson went
- What went well during the lesson
- What would you change about the lesson
- Would you use ABCmouse again
After you complete this reflection, I would like you to send me a copy.
Lesson 3: Learners will alter their original lesson plan using feedback to create a better one for the future.
In this lesson, you will refer to your old lesson plan.
After reviewing the student feedback and you personal reflection, I would like you to alter your original lesson plan.
I would like you to make sure that you include the following with some newest additions:
- Objectives
- Standards
- Materials
- Lesson timing
- Accommodations
- How you will use ABCmouse
- Assessment
- What changes were made
- Why the changes were made
After you complete the new version of the lesson plan, you need to send it to me. I will give you final feedback.
End of Unit
To complete this unit, you need to send me your personal reflection and new lesson plan. I will get back to you with final feedback. Thank you for choosing this mini-course! I hope you enjoyed it!
