The document summarizes two classroom observations of mathematics and science lessons. In the first observation, the mathematics teacher clearly stated the learning objectives and outcomes and used individualized instruction and assessment for learning. However, the teacher could have addressed common problems among students more and ensured passive students were engaged. In the second observation, the science teacher had a well-structured lesson plan and learning objectives. Students designed and tested water filters in groups and conducted self, peer, and teacher assessments. The lesson incorporated learning by doing and catered to different learning styles.

5. As an Observer
Teacher: Zach Conrad
Subject: Mathematics (Algebra)
Grade 10

6. I observed………
Learning Objectives: Clearly stated
Learning outcomes: set by the teacher
Physical Resources: Classroom ambience, stationary &
technology related tools
Pedagogies Used: Performance task was given during a revision
class and personal approach.
Individualized Instruction
Students were working on the problems given by the teacher,
discussing with peers and then discussing with the teacher.
Assessment for learning:
1.Complete the problems correctly
2.Help their peers
3.Discuss solution with teacher
Approach :Learner’s Centric

8. Reflection
The lesson objectives and expectations were not
communicated to pupils –though they were mentioned in the
lesson plan.
The teacher has established a very good relationship with
pupils.
The class was rather quiet & passive – some passive kids
could have been checked (learning environment)
Modelling could have been used to help pupils recall & learn
during revision class
.
Although the teacher checked & discussed with individual
pupils but he could have addressed the common problems in
the class.

9. I went to observe Mr.Rufus’s Class
Teacher: Rufus Emmanuel
Grade: 7
Subject: Science No. of students: 13

10. What I observed…..
Lesson Plan – Well structured
Learning Objectives: Clearly stated
Learning Outcomes: Well defined
Pedagogies Used: Learning by doing
A group task was given to plan and design a water filter using
gravel, pebbles, sand and an empty coke bottles.
Assessment for Learning:
1.Plan and make water filters in groups – Analyze and reflect on
their design - Self assessment
2.Comparison to their peers design –Grade each other’s filter
according to their peers design. – Peer Assessment
3.In Class –Teacher’s assessment

11. Outdoor activity

12. Teacher pours the water that needs to be filtered

13. Self Assessment

14. Peer Assessment

15. Teacher’s Assessment

16. Learning by doing………
We learn by doing..

17. Reflection
• Strong lesson planning
• Learning objectives and expectations were
communicated to pupils
• Learning activity was successfully launched
and analysis based on each group’s work
catered needs of different learning styles.
• AFLs: Self assessment, peer assessment
and Teacher’s assessment.
• Teacher Talk Learners centered, provided
enough opportunities to apply new
knowledge to something they already know.
