Notes
After reflecting on the video of Glenda’s instruction, she decided to modify her original goal. She realized that her goal was too ambitious for the time frame that she had to complete her instruction. As we talked about her video, I was able to point out many of the good instructional practices she was using. However, she realized that her original instructional plans for the lesson were not working and had to improvise and change the lesson while teaching. I explained that that is how we learn and now she realizes that some pieces of text are not appropriate for the group of students that are in front of her at the moment. It was a good learning experience and I think that Glenda has grown as a teacher throughout this course. We had a great discussion about the steps needed to get a group of students to be able to identify main idea and supporting details and the importance of this kind of instruction.
