M6 U3 A2: Evaluating a TEACH-NOW Clinical Practice Lesson
Project Description
Overview Teachers need to be able to evaluate a lesson to determine whether or not it meets the lesson objectives and proposed plan of activities. One way to do this is to review a video of a clinical lesson being taught by a Teach-Now candidate. In this activity, you will continue practice evaluating lesson plans and comparing them with the implemented lesson in the grade level you teach or plan to teach. Focus on making constructive feedback by commenting through a narrative to the teacher in the video. This review process will enable you to objectively evaluate and modify your own lesson plans and lesson delivery. Performance outcomes
Candidates will observe and evaluate in person and online teaching lessons and analyze whether they effectively meet the lesson objectives.
What will you do?
Read the lesson plans from the Activity Resources and watch the videos on the Submission tab. You can choose to watch, annotate, and evaluate both Video 1 (Elementary) and Video 2 (Secondary) or choose one based on the grade level you teach or plan to teach. However, Video 3 (online teaching) is not optional.
Watch the videos again, and pause and annotate them at different time segments to identify and analyze:
What is working well in the lesson
What is not working well in the lesson
Deviations from the lesson plan
Adjustments to the lesson plan based on student understanding and participation
Ways you would teach the lesson differently for your students
Use the clinical teaching rubric on the Submission tab to evaluate:
Whether the lesson plan activities address the objective
Whether the video determined if the teacher implemented the plan as written
Whether the teacher made positive or negative deviations from the lesson plan in the lesson Note: Your mentor will be using a similar rubric to evaluate your lessons during the clinical practice portion of the program.
Write a comprehensive feedback, explaining your rating and suggest ways to improve each lesson and recognize the strengths of the lesson.
Write a reflection describing how you would use or not use techniques planned or used by the teachers in your own lessons and why.
