delivery. the instruction/practice
Areas of Strength: The teacher started the lesson with an intro requiring the students to discuss what
they know about caves from the fact sheet and from an illustration on the book selection. The teacher
and student rapport was mutually respectful. The teacher used a prepared Reading and Language
Arts Curriculum and worksheet completion to have students understand the concepts. The teacher
sampled the children often and involved them in the Q&A discussion comprehension lesson.
Areas to Strengthen: Continue to focus on the introduction of the lesson including a motivating
activity to spark student interest. Continue making a statement and list the objective during the
anticipatory set on the whiteboard. Expand the use of the signaling techniques this will engage all of
the students more often, Ex. (Pair/Share, Thumbs-Up or Down). Continue to involve the students in
the practice segments of the lesson and reach out to students assessing their learning for closure. (Exit
Tickets and Post Cards)
General Comments: The teacher used the fact sheet, Reading Booklet and worksheets to reinforce
and solidify the concept of reading comprehension. The lesson was well planned and executed with
confidence. The children seemed to enjoy the activities while learning valuable skills. Your lesson
plan listed the necessary components. Continue to have children focus on each-others responses, by
having them signal their responses after the children offer their answers.
