About the Class You Observed
1.
How much time is devoted each day to instruction
in the classroom? Describe the class periods (if applicable)? Choose a content
area of your specialty or major. How much time is devoted to teaching that
subject?
The class period was 90 minutes long, with time split equally
between two subjects: Latin and Mathematics.
Both subjects would receive equal treatment at 30 minutes each, with the
remaining 30 minutes spent in working on problems and translation.
2. Is
there any ability grouping or tracking? If so, please describe how it affects
your class.
N/A
3. Identify
any textbook or instructional program you primarily use for instruction. If a
textbook, please provide the title, publisher, and date of publication.

4. List
other resources (e.g., SMARTBoard, manipulatives, online resources) used for instruction
in this class.
Whiteboard
5. What do you know about what your students know, what can they do,
and what are they learning to do? What do you know about your students’
everyday experiences, cultural backgrounds and practices, and interests?
The students under my tutelage were both
young members of my Church, and I had known them both for quite some time. I was also familiar with their family
backgrounds and knew their parents and had been growing to know more about them
personally as the year progressed, including their hobbies and academic
interests. This helped me to tailor the lesson
plans to meet the needs of each student where they were in their individual
development.
6. Describe one teaching event. What best
practices in teaching were used?
Throughout the class, discussion between me
and the students occurred as we spoke about the various new topics. We worked together on the Whiteboard, using
examples from the chapter we were working on to practice, and spent time working
on homework one on one.
