PS - the McNuggets were delicious

As Jenny began her lesson all students were focused and engaged as they started to note take. Jenny's notes where projected and included pictures, color coding, and intentional pauses and check ins to ensure all students were on track with the lesson.

Throughout the lesson Jenny connected the course material with other courses and real-life scenarios to help students connect their learning. It was a pleasure to be in Jenny's classroom. I would have loved to be a student in her class. Thank you for a great lesson on anatomical terms! You created an engaging, thoughtful, and approachable lesson.

Jenny uses a document camera to write notes while verbally explaining anatomical terms. She uses personal and student experiences and physically demonstrates the anatomical position. She checks for understanding and ensures students have enough time for note-taking. At the end, a group of students presented.

Classroom Culture:

Students feel comfortable asking and answering questions. The class is well-structured, with clear expectations communicated. I love the 3-minute stretch break and students do too.

Relationship Building:

Jenny connects with students by sharing personal stories and asking for their experiences. I think students would feel that they are heard, cared, and supported.

Feedback Strategy:

Jenny asks questions before providing answers, encouraging participation and checking comprehension during both note-taking and student presentations.

Use of Tools:

The document camera. Students use notebook or paper to actively follow along.

Observation Summary:

Students remain engaged, with active participation during questions. While some are passive, clear instruction keeps all focused and productive. Thank you for welcoming me into your class!

Lastly, I loved the drawing board I saw on my way out :) maybe one of these days, I'll hop on down to 212 and draw my own caricature of myself. Thank you, Ya-Wen, for an engaging lesson!

Classroom Culture/relationship building:

Fun, relaxed, energized. Kevin walked around the room assuring that that students were on task and ready to go. Starting the class with a competition helped to engage the class in a active and engaged manner. Kevin builds relationships with his students by checking in on them and calling them by name. He ensures everyone is on task prior to moving to the next task. Additionally, Kevin's body language and voice tone is relaxed, inviting, and approachable.

I loved the way Kevin opened up his class with a clear directions and an activity get everyone engaged and involved (especially in a first period class). During the Kahoot Kevin circulated the room to answer individual questions as well as ensure students were on task. The game ia a clever and fun way to prepare for the upcoming assessment. Thank you for having me!

Kevin posts a clear agenda on the board and uses Kahoot to review material, walking through each question—including calculation ones. I like that he replaces the word “test” with “DoK (demonstration of knowledge?)”. I think it lowers anxiety and focus on thinking.

Classroom Culture

The atmosphere is relaxed and positive. Students are engaged, asking questions, and comfortable in the space.

Relationship Building

Kevin has built strong relationships—students are at ease and responsive, which really supports learning.

Feedback Strategy

He moves around the room during activities, offering quick, real-time feedback and keeping students on track.

Digital/Analog Tools

Kahoot is used for review and to encourage interaction and confidence. I had a little fun joining in on the first 7 Kahoot questions and made it to the top of podium XD

Thank you for having me to learn from your class! I'd like to try leading the kahoot activity your way.
