positive influence with colleagues.
CLINICAL PRACTICE EVALUATION 3
During the Math lesson about fractions that I observed, Monica presented the concept of halves and quarters verbally, with pictures, by showing a movie, and by with
a computer program. She reviewed the vocabulary necessary such as halves, fourths, numerator, and denominator. She used the words many times and asked the
students to use them and identify their place in a fraction. She is also able to differentiate and offer individual assistance for students who needed more time or
reinforcement.
CLINICAL PRACTICE EVALUATION 3
Monica began her lesson on fractions by reviewing previously learned vocabulary and concepts relating to fractions. She used technology to show students a movie
relating to fractions when sharing pizza. She also reinforced the concept by having students practice using the computer game in Kahoot!.
CLINICAL PRACTICE EVALUATION 3
While teaching fractions, Monica presented the real world problem of using fractions when sharing pizza with family and friends. She is sensitive to the cultural
diversity of students in her class and responds in a positive manner to all.
CLINICAL PRACTICE EVALUATION 3
Monica gives students a variety of opportunities to practice new concepts. During her math lesson students responded verbally, in writing and on the computer to
demonstrate what they had learned. Through these formative assessments she is able to determine who has grasped the concept and who needs more instruction.
She has also reviewed data from summative assessments to assess learning. She has also learned to make needed assessment accommodations.
CLINICAL PRACTICE EVALUATION 3
Monica rotates her role during her lessons by instructing, asking students to respond and practice, by guiding students to success, and by viewing student work and
reinforcing where necessary. She engages her students by offering a variety of ways to learn and practice at a pace that keeps their attention. She asks questions
and has all students to answer. I suggest that she varies the types of questions by planning for them within her lessons using Bloom's questions starters to
encourage different kinds of thinking.
CLINICAL PRACTICE EVALUATION 3
Monica reports that she has learned so much from her cooperating teacher and others in her school about effective teaching strategies and how to use
assessment data as well as student profiles to adapt lessons for her students.
CLINICAL PRACTICE EVALUATION 3
Monica uses technology in a variety of ways to teach and to communicate. She is friendly and able to engage students, colleagues and parents. She likes to visit with
parents at the end of the school day.
Monica has grouped the seating of her students in ways she thinks would benefit their learning. She has also created centers to reinforce student learning.
