Teacher’s Name: Jamie Kelly Date of Lesson: 10/22/15

Student’s Name: Addie Student’s Instrument: Trombone

Instructions: After teaching this lesson, reflect on your teaching and the student’s learning. Use the following questions to help guide your thinking – Address those you feel were most applicable for this specific lesson.
1. What one or two words best describe your teaching experience during this lesson?
I think this lesson went well. Addie and I did a lot of playing today.
2. What went well during this lesson?
Addie and I played a lot. We tuned and worked on listening to one another during the warm-up. We worked on scales, and Addie recorded the method book duet.
3. Did you reach your …show more content…

I also think I did a better job of not focusing too much on making everything sound perfect. I also made sure to shorten the warm up so Addie and I could get to the method book.
4. If you had to do this lesson over again, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?
If I had to do this lesson over again, I would probably have tried to get more done in the lesson, such as reviewing an exercise or working on a new one in the method book. I feel like Addie was trying to talk a lot, and I tried my best to keep us on task. Next time, I want to keep working on this. I also want to make sure to pay attention to any technique errors Addie makes when it comes to breathing or buzzing. Next lesson, I want to work on band music with Addie as well.
5. What did you do in terms of trying new ideas, concepts, techniques, etc.? How did it pay off in terms of what you and/or your students learned?
For this lesson, I used GarageBand and drones so that we could listen and tune as we played the Remington long tone exercise. I also used a tuner so that Addie and I could tune, since Addie noticed that we were not in tune with each other. I also had Addie record both parts of a duet in the method book into GarageBand, which she really

14.01.16 – 21.01.16 During this block I was given the opportunity to take floor book for the first time. As previously mentioned, I had difficulties communicating with some of the children in the nursery. I strongly believe my communication have come a long way since reflecting on them and this improvement was presented during floor book. I was able to quickly identify that the children had a mixture of abilities when it came to understanding and answering questions.

The children been working on beginning letter sounds and this lesson is a new learning strategy to reinforce the concept in a fun and appealing song that help reproduce the sound patterns. Have been working with ELL students on letter sounds at beginning of words. Been going over the farmer in the del song and naming the animals on the farm as background knowledge and something to relate to the children to see the sound at the beginning match the animals. Students will be observed by the teacher as they are singing the song and making the beginning letter sounds. The teacher will be looking for the correct pronunciation of each word and sound isolations.

She didn’t know what to do. “And I suddenly had such a vivid flashback that I completely lost my train of thought.” She talked about a childhood experience with her brother Matt. I think she was trying to get the student into learning, but that got the student feel boring instead. The entire lesson, she couldn’t build connections with her students.

Did you receive any other feedback? I did not receive a lot of feedback for this lesson as Ms. Esminger was out attending an honors convention at St. John. Although, during preparation for this lesson we did talk about how to get the students to comprehend drawing conclusions by giving simple examples before building up to something more complex. When conferencing with Professor Longo, she mentioned the strengths I exhibited during this lesson included being well prepared and organized.

When they were finish meeting the student went back to write their final copy. A successful lesson is a lesson where my students are fully involved, listening and interacting with the and each other regarding the material presented. The teacher lessons are thought-provoking and fun at the same time because she believe the students want to have fun and that they learn more effectively when learning is a pleasure, not a chore. The true measure of a good lesson, however, is when I can look at tests and quizzes on the material and see a good level of understanding and comprehension on the student’s

Even though I knew that some people had missed rehearsals or couldn’t dance well, I believed that the choreography was simple enough that missing one or two rehearsals wouldn’t matter-- they could catch up with the group quickly and easily. I hadn’t realized that I was being arrogant and ignorant of the fact that people do not have the same background that I have with learning and retaining choreography quickly. Since I couldn’t tolerate the rehearsal pace, I was initially reluctant to dedicate my time to go through choreography step-by-step just for people who hadn’t made rehearsal a priority. But since I wanted the show to look professional, and because I can teach others well, I decided that I would allow myself to dedicate time to help those who needed it.

For this observation I chose to sit in on a lesson that involved Prof. Andon, flute teaching artist, and student Courtney Otis. The event took place Thursday the 21st of this month, at around twelve in the afternoon. The lesson could be broken into three parts: introduction/warm-up, technical studies, and piece. Most of the time was dedicated to addressing issues with the repertoire, such as dynamic contrast, intonation, tone production, and technical passages. The professor began the lesson by welcoming the student into her office and asking the student general questions about her week and the music.

I mainly learned and observed and took notes, instead. I found it somewhat difficult because I noticed that the OT did not cater to each child’s abilities. I had worked with the children for 8 hours a day as their previous teacher, instead of working with them for only 1 – 2 hours a day, as the OT did. Therefore, I knew the children’s weaknesses and strengths and what they should have been working harder or less

The first objective was achieved as Melissa listened and responded to the action song. The second objective was achieved as Melissa was able to mirror and repeat my hand motions and we did hand motions for the action song together. My teaching strategies were effective as the learning objectives were achieved and the flow of the activity was maintained. Melissa did the movements with me and she enjoyed this experience. For the follow-up activity, I will sing this song to a small group of toddlers, ask toddlers to pair up to do the movement for the song together.

The students were highly engaged. I could say that the concepts to be learn were explicitly linked to ELLs’ background experience and past learning. I listened to the teacher’s speech and voice projection, it was appropriate (not too slow, not too fast), and she emphasized the importance of being respectful/active listeners. She ensured that each students had sufficient time to respond to her questions, and clarify if a student seemed confused (regarding the objectives). As the students did the group work, Mrs. Carbone foster noticing.

I participated in several school meetings. After working with students in small groups, I evaluated my mini lesson for student improvement.
