| Lesson Focus/ Topic: Story Telling | ||||||
| Evidence | Importance | Connections | Context | Next Steps | ||
| I observed that most of the students were engaged in the lesson. | It is important because the evidence tells me that those students are interested in retelling the parts of a fairy tale story. | PAS-T- Performance Standard 2: Instructional Planning- The teacher plans for the use of appropriate curricula, instructional strategies, and resources to address the needs of all students. ELA K-2.1 Engage in daily explorations of texts to make connections to personal experiences, other texts, or the environment. | Students were able to name parts of the story because students have participated in story telling throughout the last few weeks. | Record small group of students retelling the story they chose. | ||
| 2 students in the back had trouble staying still. One kept rocking back and forth on his knees. | It is important because the evidence shows that I need to break up the lesson into smaller chunks so all students remain engaged. | PAS-T- Performance Standard 3: Instructional Delivery- The teacher promotes student learning by addressing individual learning differences and by using effective instructional strategies. Overall, I did meet this standards, but I need to ensure that all students are focused the whole time. | Some students have not had as many opportunities to observe or participate in reading books but all students can tell a story. | During centers students will be given a variety of materials to retell familiar fairy tales (character puppets, masks, wodden figures) Also, stem materials like: *build a chair big enough for the characters to sit in. *build a house that won't blow down *build a bridge tall enough for the troll to stand under and strong enough for the goats to cross over | ||
| Some students did not raise their hands at all. | It is important to note this because this evidence shows that I need to find a way to engage them nore in the questioning. | PAS-T- Performance Standard 3: Instructional Delivery- The teacher promotes student learning by addressing individual learning differences and by using effective instructional strategies. I need to focus more on this performance standard especially for my ADHD kids. | I need to be more aware of every student's participation level to check for understanding. | In writing center, students can "write" the story using pictures and sounding out words. | ||

| Identifying What’s Important | I identified the importance of parts of a story that were important to this lesson. | |||||

| Incorporating Contextual Knowledge | By using video evidence, I can look back at student participation and whether or not they can answer relevant questions. I evaluated student results through the video lesson. | |||||

| Notes: During the lesson I noticed that I need to break the lessons up with either wait time, or music and movement. To keep students engaged, sometimes I need to change things up when things get too routine. I do not feel that I gave the students enough wait time to answer questions. I need to improve in that area of my teaching. I actually thought I gave enough wait time during lessons but this video is evidence that it is an area of improvement for me. PAS-T Performance Standard 5: Learning Environment- We are a capturing kids hearts school. In our classroom, we are a community. We work together. This year, I have embraced this concept and it has made a huge difference in the way my students learn. | ||||||

Hi Tina,
ReplyDeleteIdentifying What’s Important:
*In your second blog post you identified important observations: 1.) I observed that most of the students were engaged in the lesson. 2.) 2 students in the back had trouble staying still. One kept rocking back and forth on his knees. 3.) Some students did not raise their hands at all.
*You determined these three observations were important because students are interested in retelling the parts of a fairy tale story. Observing that students in the back had trouble staying still let you know that you may need to break up the lesson into smaller chunks so all students remain engaged. Realizing that some students did not raise their hands at all raised your awareness of the need to find a way to engage them more in the questioning
Making Connections:
*In your second blog post you made connections from the expectations and student outcomes from your lesson to current standards: PAS-T- Performance Standard 2: Instructional Planning, and ELA K-2.1, PAS-T- Performance Standard 3: Instructional Delivery. You shared how you have identified the need to focus more on this performance standard 3 especially for your students who exhibit ADHD behaviors.
Incorporating Contextual Knowledge:
*In your blog post self-analysis you explained that students were able to name parts of the story because students have participated in story telling throughout the last few weeks. You explained that some students have not had as many opportunities to observe or participate in reading books, but all students can tell a story. You also explained that you want to be more aware of every student's participation level to check for understanding.
Drafting Next Steps:
*Tina, this area is your biggest strength because you took this video analysis assignment as an opportunity to improve your practice and to improve student learning. Your list of next steps aligns with your determinations about what is important and what can be targeted for growth including: recording small groups of students retelling the story they chose. My favorite next step you listed is providing an opportunity for students during centers to use different materials to have a STEAM challenge to build and retell familiar fairy tales. I also like your idea for following up with their STEAM build challenge by providing students with an opportunity in the writing center, to "write" the story using pictures and sounding out words. Excellent ideas!
NOTES:
Tina, I appreciate your willingness to reflect on your practice with each learning opportunity/assignment given to you and to determine areas to grow for yourself and for your students. Most of all, I appreciate how your overall focus this year is to capture your students’ hearts at your school and to keep classroom community and a sense of belonging and collaboration as your overall purpose this school year. I know this is making a difference.
Sincerely,
Dawn
