Lesson #2 Reflection:
1. What did teaching this lesson teach you?
Teaching this lesson taught me that I need to work on differentiating my instructional
presentation to better accommodate different learning styles. I also need to improve on my
modification skills when preparing and teaching the lesson. I found myself teaching to the
masses and retracing my steps with some of the students while others were done quickly and
waiting to move on.
Teaching this lesson also taught me that students work better when they are collaborating
together and teachers tend to get more participation and enthusiasm from the students when they
can share ideas. Having the students share their idea of typical stereotypes of birth order with
their peers before sharing with the rest of the class helped the students gain motivation towards
learning the lessons material, because it made the information more relevant.
2. What are you discovering about your style in front of the students?
Im discovering that my style in front of students is relaxed but stern. Students understand that
Im open and willing to their ideas but I also command attention that prevents behavior
problems. Students are encouraged to show enthusiasm or energy towards the material but also
understand there is an expectation to handle yourself in a professional manner that wont conflict
with their peers learning ability.
My classroom management gives students the freedom to include their thoughts and experiences
with the material being presented, engaging the student more with the material. Im learning that
Im more open to students taking notes with their lap tops, checking their phone quickly if they
are done early with an activity, or making comments about the material during the presentation
than I thought I was before.
I also learned that my delivery was easily comprehended and students didnt have trouble with
instructions. My delivery of the activities instructions and material being presented allowed for
active participation in an efficient manner. I do feel that I could improve my delivery by
breaking up the information on the PowerPoint and asking students for their understanding or by
asking students more probing questions.
