1. What are my strengths?
In watching this video, I feel that the following areas are ones in which I do well:
- Clear explanations regarding instruction, next steps, expectations.
- Movement around the entire room.
- Giving adequate wait and think time.
- Calling on all students, and not focusing on just a few.
- Asking for explanations and strategies from students instead of simply focusing on answer.
The following areas are ones in which I will focus on improving:
- Avoiding the 'kickball effect,' and ensuring that all students are engaged in a task-even when only one student is working at the board or solving a problem.
- Ensuring that I use professional language when addressing the class and specifically when guiding math instruction.
To improve my teaching effectiveness, I will practice the following:
- Continue with the 'Give Me Five' procedure for gaining attention of class without raising my voice.
- Clear and organized writing at the whiteboard. I find myself, at times, adding information to the board in a disorganized manner that can result in confusion.
- Neat and readable writing on the board.
