**Video and Self-Evaluation of Lesson Plan** **(Addition and Subtraction of Decimals)** **Internship II**


 * //Directions://** Listen to each tape or video and evaluate your instruction techniques by answering the fol ­lowing questions. Turn in this self-evaluation with the lesson plan and video.
 * 1. || Did you give an overview? || **X** ||  ||   ||
 * || Example: //‘// //You know how to find sums and differences of **whole numbers**// //. Today, you will learn how to model sums and differences of// **//decimals//** //using the hundredths grid.’//  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * 2. || Did you share the rationale/purpose? || **X** ||  ||   ||
 * || Example: Asked students why they think we need to learn how to add and subtract decimals. I accepted all reasonable responses. Most said the knowledge is used when adding or subtracting dollars and cents. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 3. || Did you set your expectations? || **X** ||  ||   ||
 * || Example: Went over the school-wide Behavior Expectation called CHAMPS (before recording) also visible on the board so students can see it all the time. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 4. || Did you share your objective? || **X** ||  ||   ||
 * || Example: ‘ //Today, you will learn how to model sums and differences of **decimals**// //using the hundredths grid.’//  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * 5. || Did you pause between questions? || **X** ||  ||   ||
 * || Example: Gave time before students can answer but could’ve used more student wait-time. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 6. || Did you check for comprehension with specific questions? || **X** ||  ||   ||
 * || Example: Asked different students to come up and do problem in steps on the board. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 7. || Did you give clear directions? || **X** ||  ||   ||
 * || Example: Signaled students to go ahead and color in their grids while I color mine as well. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 8. || Did you control for the sophistication of your vocabulary? || **X** ||  ||   ||
 * || Example: Used math vocabulary that students have been using for this chapter such as sum, difference, commutative property of addition, etc. Made sure I did not use any slang. ||  ||   ||   ||
 * 9. || Did you give appropriate feedback? || **X** ||  ||   ||
 * || Example: //“Matthew, let’s try another answer, but your answer is a good try.’// ||  ||   ||   ||
 * || Example: //“Matthew, let’s try another answer, but your answer is a good try.’// ||  ||   ||   ||


 * Positive Things:**

1. Greeted students, and made sure to ask how everyone is doing at the beginning of lesson. (Affective) 2. Gave a thorough review of previous days’ lesson. (Rounding Decimals) 3. Asked students question to help them make a connection of learning to real life. (Rationale) 4. Utilized classroom technology. 5. Made sure to call not only students who had their hand raised but those that didn’t have their hand up as well. 6. Modeling on the doc cam how we’re solving the problem so students can follow along. (sort of Think Aloud) 7. Used **Closure/****Exit Slips** that had 3 items for a quick assessment before students left the class to check effectiveness of lesson.


 * Things to Improve Upon:**

1. Placement of doc cam which I had no control of. Suggested to teacher for a middle front of classroom placement. 2. Give longer wait time for students to answer. 3. Use proximity more. 4. More fluidity of lesson even with a structured lesson plan. 5. Pose an improved problem such as having students act and pretend they were in the store and have to use money to purchase a cd and a notebook.
