Micro Teaching Self Reflection

During my micro teaching lesson I thought that my progressions and steps in learning went well. I believe I was well organized and for the most part spoke in a clear and understandable voice. I also feel that I was able to use good eye contact when speaking to the others. I also think that the use of a mini lecture, and then bringing in props for the students to touch and use hit various learning styles.

If I were to teach this lesson again I think that I would come more prepared I feel that I was reading off my lesson plans and notes to much. I think that I would also try to engage more students through questions, because although I was asking questions they seemed to be dominated by one or two students so I think it’s important to work harder in involving all students.

I took the micro teaching lesson as a lesson where lack of previous knowledge was done, so I would expect to score low in bridging to prior knowledge as this was an independent lesson. The only comment made about development was with regards to timing. I finished my lesson with about one minute left so with some additional planning I am sure I could have filled the entire ten minutes as I did have other activities in mind when planning.
