From the classification of raw data on this sheet, list the strengths observed during this
cycle and prioritize the areas for improvement.
STRENGTHS:
• You planned and taught a strong lesson which provided high student interest and direct
correlation to students’ needs.
• You do creative work with your students that is applicable to real life.
• You provide hands-on learning experiences for students.
• The classroom procedures and rules are in place.
• You are knowledgeable about your subject matter.
• You adjusted the plans to spend more time reinforcing student learning.
• Students were not allowed to just answer. They had to provide explanations of how they
knew the correct answer.
• Student responses were praised.
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:
• Your students would benefit from step-by-step directions. These would be easier to follow
and could even be written on the board to help keep everyone on the right path.
• Enforce your classroom rules. If students are to bring their pencils to class, do not allow a
student just to borrow a pencil. This does not teach about consequences.
• Continue to work on behavior management. Some of the students were talking to each other
while you were putting things on the board for them to see. Also, be more sensitive to Scotty.
Keeping him at the table seems to be very important to him. Automatically assigning him
away will not solve the problem. Let him stay at the main table until he proves he can’t. You
and his assistant should track how long that is each day and share that information with him.
We can discuss more ways to handle this so that the burden is more on him for his own
behavior.
