phase 3

I had already become very familiar with assessing prior knowledge in my previous classes. I understand the importance of it and I will be using it for most of my assignments; when I become a teacher. I do not feel I learned any more about assessment of prior knowledge this semester but did some great review.

Planning instruction is where I feel I fell short in my planning of this lesson, I believe that it is a fantastic lesson but my planning and my preparation could had been executed better. I had the plan well laid out but I did not practice enough, and I did not remember that I could have put the lesson up on the projector through the computer, I had it in my plan but hind sight is 20/20.

This lesson that I presented was very nicely put together it has a lot of the aspect a good lesson plan should have:  Pre assessment, direct instructions, helps for students that have individualized needs and it also covers diversity so the students can get some culture. If it had not been for my lack of preparation it would have worked out better.

Planning the assessment is the key heart of a lesson plan. Without good assessment you not know where your students standing, and you cannot teach them in a level that they need to be taught.

Teaching for me is going to be the hardest part I have a lot to learn before I become a teacher because I do not want to be stutter stepping through my lessons. My strategies for reaching the students need to be improved as well is my pedagogy. I feel fairly comfortable in front of a classroom as long as I am comfortable with the information that I am presenting sign need to get more comfortable in all the areas that I will be teaching.

Without assessment of learning there is no way you will be able to know if the students are reaching the goals you have set for them. Not know if you're planning, pre-assessment, design, or anticipatory set is a success without assessment. I feel that the assessment of my lesson plan works very well for the students of this age and with this lesson will be passed very simply.
