Micro-teach Post Reflection

Leading up to my lesson I was very nervous to teach for the first time and was worried

how the class would respond. It was not until I got into my presentation that the nerves left and

I was able to get to my confident self again. I felt that the class was responding well and they

seemed to enjoy the lesson. The activity of drawing out the food chain went great and the

students seemed to be engaged in what was going on. After the lesson was over I got some

great feedback from Jana first. She said that my tone and the way I carried myself throughout

the lesson was excellent. That was great to hear because my confidence is something I believe

is a strength of mine, so for her to notice that as well was awesome to hear. Also, she informed

me that I planned out my lesson well and concluded it in a way to demonstrate the students

understanding of food chains. It was also informative to read some of the feedback from my

peers. A lot of it was similar to Janas, such as a confident voice and good closure of the lesson.

They also thought it was good that during the drawing of the chain activity I was walking

around and checking in on the students work. For me, I thought the strengths of the lesson

were the same as what my peers gave me. I also thought that I maintained a good pace

throughout the lesson that allowed me to think my thoughts out well and limit the chances of

me speaking to quickly, which I tend to struggle with. My tone was extremely confident and

addressed the students with respect, which helped create a good atmosphere in the room.

There were a couple things I would have liked to do differently based off of some of the

feedback I got. I would have liked to add a more interactive active on the smartboard to get the

students up and participating. Also, I think if I paced around the room more compared to

standing in the same spot, it would have been better. I do not think I would change my planning
much because for my first lesson I thought it went smooth. What I have learned to inform my

future teaching self is that it is ok to be nervous before teaching because once you get started

everything will go great and that confidence will come out. That making sure I always end a

lesson with a conclusion so I can assess that the students have learned something from it. Also,

a couple of the students agreed that another interactive activity would have been helpful to

supplemented the lesson. All in all, I thought the lesson went fantastic and was a success for

the first one.
