This week,
I was observed for the second time by my supervisor. My first observation was
only about two weeks ago, when I first started to take over classes, and it
went well – not outstanding, but well. My supervisor was pleased with my
progress then, so I was interested to receive his feedback this week.
Despite
knowing that my first observation went well, I was still nervous.
I was
hurrying around during my planning period to make sure that everything was just
right.
Was my
lesson plan in the right spot in my binder? Yes.
Did I mark
my lesson plan with a sticky note? Yes.
Was the
rubric that my supervisor requested easily accessible in my binder? Yes.
Were my
goals displayed on the board? Yes.
Photo I took of the lesson plan book that my cooperating teacher and I use. We each have a copy, and we go through weekly plans together and have them written down so we are both on the same page. |
The bell
rang signaling the end of my Creative Writing class, and my supervisor entered
my classroom. The nerves hit me in full force.
I took a
deep breath as I showed my supervisor where to find my lesson plans as well as
the rubric he requested, and I turned to face my students.
The lesson
I taught was on lead writing, and I wanted my students to practice writing
three different leads for a piece of writing they’re working on called an
indelible moment.
All in
all, my lesson was a success.
In the
conference I had with my supervisor after I taught, he complimented my
improvement over the past two weeks, and told me I’m doing a great job, which
he even specified is a compliment coming from him, as he is honest in how he
feels his student teachers are doing.
I was
really pleased with my observation overall, and while I know that I will still
be filled with nerves for the next observation, I at least know that I’m doing
something right.
