Phase 2 of Micro Lesson 1: Assessment of Learning





1.   Assessment of Learning: Describe the evidence you have that indicates
o    Your students' level of success in achieving the lessons goals
o    The level of success you had in teaching the lesson
§  How do your individual reflections support this?
§  How do the comments from your classmates support this?



Achievement of my lesson was not what I had originally planned it to be. Looking at the worksheets and problems that we did together, my new goals became teaching the exponent rules needed to work with negative exponents. With the new goals set, I feel that achievement of learning was moderately successful. I feel that my "students" would still need more work on the "basics" of exponents if I were teaching them the same topic again. Based on some comments that my peers made, and some personal reflections I have thought of things that if I did differently would have made the lesson flow a little easier. I would make sure to have some notes for them to refer to, or once realizing what they didn't know, I should have written some notes out for them to look at. Another thing I would do differently is have a print out of my lesson plan, to have examples to refer to. I was having a hard time working with each girl individually, and at one point during the lesson I got mixed up and told two of them to do the problems wrong. I eventually figured out that this happened and corrected the problem, but I feel that if I had my lesson plan printed out with me I would have been able to organize my thoughts a little bit better. Another comment was that I the problems on my worksheet were hard to read, and I feel that I could have avoided that by having someone proof read them before coming to class. 
As far a success in teaching, I feel that I was successful. I had to make some modifications, and decisions based on where my student were in their knowledge of exponents. I feel that my "students" learned something from my lesson, it just was not what I had originally planned on them to learn.
