Component I: Classroom Teaching

Task C: Lesson Analysis and Reflection

Intern Name: Elijah D. Edwards Date: 4/13 Cycle: 3
To ensure that your lesson analysis and reflection inform instruction, this task must be completed no later than two days after each
observed lesson.
1. Explain how you determined the levels of student performance on your objective(s)/learning targets. Refer to rubrics or criteria
used in this determination. (What was effective? What was not effective? What would you keep? What would you change?)
I informally assessed their learning throughout class by seeing what they were annotating/underlining in their articles/prompt. I
formally assessed their learning by having them share with me their MLA document that contains their quality thesis statement.
I found this to be effective in measuring their mastery. If they sent me a perfect document with no errors, they met criteria. If
they had errors, they were below criteria. Since this was so objective, there was no way to determine yet if they were
exceeding criteria. That will happen later in the unit once they start writing.
2. For each lesson objective/learning target, sort the student performance into three categories
a)

Below criteria 0 # of students

b) Meeting criteria 25 # of students

c)

Exceeding criteria 0 # of students

3. For each category, describe the students strengths and learning needs.
a)

Below criteria
N/A

b) Meeting criteria
They were able to successfully set up their document in MLA format and write a clear/precise thesis statement.
c)

Exceeding criteria
N/A

4. Reflect on the following:

a)

How effective was your instruction based on analysis of student performance indentified in number 2 above?
Since every student successfully submitted their document and wrote a strong thesis statement, I believe that my instruction
was effective.
b) What new professional learning and resources could help you increase your instructional effectiveness?
I need to attend some professional development over how to implement an RTI program.
c)

Describe patterns in student performance. How will these patterns be used in planning and instruction
The students were engaged and successfully completed the formative assessment.

5. For each category of students, how will you differentiate instruction?

a)

Below criteria
N/A

b) Meeting criteria
Learning will continue as usual.
c)

Exceeding criteria
N/A

6. Describe how you communicate continuous progress with students and parents/caregivers (other than school grade reporting).
I have a return system with students where I place their graded assignments in a folder. I communicate with parents by entering grades
into Infinite Campus and allowing them to contact me by phone or email with questions. I upload all assignments to my class website.
Additionally, if a student is struggling, I will reach out to their parent to see what I can do to help them. I have met with several
students after school for ESS.
