TEACHER POST OBSERVATION CONFERENCE

Cooperating Teacher's comment:

Miss. Valentina’s lesson was suitably paced, with time needed for students to engage intellectually. The group activities in the class aligned with the goals of the lesson. Students participated throughout the lesson, and their enthusiasm was evident.

My Respond:

I used Danielson's domain of instruction, component 3c, Engaging students in learning. I had planned before how to align group activities with the plan. I incorporated group activities to try and engage all students in the lesson. This is an ideal area for me to focus on instruction.

Cooperating Teacher's comment:

Miss. Valentina’s gave constructive feedback to her students, her use of groups allowed for active student engagement, and she provided intensive instruction.

My Respond:

My choice of engaging students in learning was supported by evidence from Danielson’s HLP 8, 18, and 20, which prompted me to use those strategies.

Cooperating Teacher's comment:

Mis. Valentina’s lesson comprised strategies for engaging students in learning. There are some instances; however, in the group discussions, I noticed some students chit-chatting, and Miss.Valentina’s did not notice because she was monitoring another group. In the future, she needs to consider selecting a group representative to help ensure group activities go as planned.

My Respond:

I will gladly consider the suggestion and other actionable next steps to improve student engagement in learning, such as: asking open-ended questions, which will help students be more diligent in their reading and homework since these questions require a deep analysis; encouraging students to take up more active roles, which will help them grasp the content taught; incorporate student discussion time into activities which will help students explain to the others their reasoning promoting metacognition; and giving students the power to choose an engagement activity which will, in turn, help them be responsible for sitting up, taking notice, and making intentional decisions about which direction their education will take (Alsowayegh et al., 2019). These will impact student achievement.

Cooperating Teacher's comment:

Miss. Valentina’s showed a focus on Engaging students in learning. This will aid in supporting other Evaluation instrument areas.

My Respond:

I did focus on Student Engagement in learning. This will support other Evaluation instrument areas because there is evidence of my commitment to engaging students in learning. Also, it will support other Evaluation instrument areas because there is evidence in my intensive instruction (Hinze, 2020).

Cooperating Teacher's Comment:

Overall Miss. Valentina’s lesson was great. She is a teacher and will therefore need to sustain performance.

My Respond:

I will include actionable steps to sustain performance. I will set specific goals and define achievable and measurable objectives before the lesson. I will develop a plan to ensure I stay organized and on track. I will monitor progress to ensure I stay on track, identify challenges and communicate them with top-level management, communicate effectively, and seek feedback.

Cooperating Teacher's Comment:

Miss. Valentina’s will need to consider actionable ways to improve performance.

My Respond:

For performance improvement, I will set realistic goals and measure progress towards them, Identify areas of improvement, develop and implement action plans, implement strategies and techniques for improving performance, practice and refine skills so I can master them, and I will engage in professional development so that I can stay up to date to the best practices.
