Note: Please complete these questions AFTER your debrief with your Supervisor,
and email them with your responses back to your Supervisor within 48 hours of
your observation.
1. To what extent did students learn what you intended? How do you know?
I think the students gained new knowledge on addition within a word math
problem. The reason my I feel it was successful is because the next day they were
able to retell what we discuss in class.
2. Did you do anything differently than what you planned? If so, why?
Yes, we had an unexpected fire dill during my lesson so I had to cut out blogging
and about 10 minutes of independent work. Overall, I was extremely impressed
with the students for getter back on track after the fire drill!
3. If you were going to teach this lesson again to the same students, what would
you do the same? Differently?
If I were to teach this lesson again to the same students, I would keep the scaffold
worksheets but I would try to do a more interactive lesson instead of the
BrainPop. I think it would have been nice to do a lecture or a direct instruction
game.
4. How much time did you actually use? Were transitions smooth?
I used all the time because we had a fire drill however, I was extremely impressed
with my students and their ability to smoothly transition from fire drill to class. I
think it helped that I had everything set up and ready to go so when they came
back into the class there was no down time. My take away from the fire drill that,
our inclusion team needs to practice where to go and the speed in which we need
to move in order to evacuate the building successfully.

5. Identify a group or individual who did well with the lesson. How do you
account for this? What might you do in the future to ensure their continued
success?
I think Nathan did a phenomenal job with the lesson because he was engaged by
answering questions. The reason why I believe Nathan enjoyed the lesson is
because there was a BrainPop video and he enjoys watching them in his free time.
Nathan also loves learning and being challenged so this lesson proved him with a
little challenge.
6. Identify a group or individual who had difficulty with this lesson. How do
you account for this? What interventions could you use so that they achieve
the learning goals?
Out of everyone in my class I feel Netanya had the hardest time with the math
lesson. She uses an AAC device and I did not have the paraprofessional set up
some answers so Netanya could actively participate. Next time I would like to go
over the lesson with the paraprofessional so they can better support the student in
using their AAC device within the lesson.
7. Are there any other comments, reactions, or questions about the lesson? Was there
anything you felt especially good, frustrated, or confused about?
I personally feel for my first lesson it went pretty well but I know there is
always room for improvement. I would also like to have all the students AAC
devices in line with the lesson so they can actively participate.
