Standard IV
Glows
The teacher knows how to make the lesson appropriate for the instructional level of her students, she did lots of mirroring, talking to your neighbor, having the students use their hands to model their understanding of the number line.  The teacher wrote the problem out for the students and provided modeling of how to use the number line. She gave lots of opportunity for the students to practice the concept as well. 
Grows:
I would suggest using less "attention grabbers" as it pulled away from the content of the lesson. Also, show the standard in the language of the student so they can see what they will be learning today and how it will effect them in the future. ]]> 2017-04-24 15:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/167864868 wrightsw https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/167935064 Standard 3- This teacher seems to know her content and knows about genetics.
Glows:
I love how she gives her students the opportunity to work and practice with genetics.
Students getting the opportunity to work in partner groups is great! 
Classroom management seems to be well-established

Grows:
I would suggest walking around while your students are turn and talking.
There is not a lot of energy in the room and that starts with the teacher and goes down to the students.

Glows:
It is evident that the teacher took the time to plan the lesson out.  She connected the lesson with what they had previously learned and built the math lesson on those topics.  At the end of the lesson, she allowed the students to work on practice problems to check their understanding on dry erase boards.  Instead of just giving students work, she wanted to check their understanding of the material and asked them probing questions to further that knowledge.
Grows:
I would ask the teacher to consider incorporating the students in the initial lesson more.  She spent the majority of the time at the board, explaining the material.  Invite the students up to the board to learn the material and test their knowledge, as them to explore a problem in pairs to see if they can figure out how to find slope, use a real life example, etc.
The other area I would ask the teacher to consider working on is her questioning. The majority of the questions were lower and surface level questions. Our classrooms are full of diverse learners, even in AIG or Co-teaching environments. Ask varied levels of questions grow all students.]]> 2017-04-25 18:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168209377 bedulin https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168258556 Standard IV
Glows:
- The teacher engaged students in many different ways of learning styles.  Auditory, visual, kinesthetic learners were all appealed to in this lesson.  
- The teacher used great questioning in the lesson.  She also differed the levels of questioning for students as a way of differentiating the lesson a bit.
Grows:
- I feel that the students that already had the skill mastered were quite bored. It was a lengthy lesson to have some students simply learning already known content when they could have been engaging in enrichment activities.
- Perhaps the activity could have been used for the students to generate the problems on their own after effective modeling.

Glows:
I love how data tracking was a huge part of the lesson. Students took ownership in their work and showed pride. The classroom atmosphere was supportive and warm and based on a growth mindset.
Grows:
I suggest that the teacher have a more structured way for students to present their work. When the student presented his work to the class, he was very engaged but I could see that many of his classmates were not. I also suggest more higher level questioning techniques. ]]> 2017-04-26 13:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168356372 smorrisonshuford https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168514436 Glows: 
This high school economics teacher is using a simulation activity to teach his students about wages, supply, demand, industry. He has planned the lesson very well by having students role play a few careers in today's industry. 
He facilitates the lesson by having pre-picked students to play the companies. Students understand what is going on, they are using the vocabulary for the lesson, and they are critically thinking through negotiations. The students who represent companies need workers; the students who are workers need the companies to hire them.
In this video, you can see that it was prepared for some other purpose. While he is narrating the lesson, he reflects on his practices, students' levels of engagement and understanding.
Grows:
I would have liked to see the students have more time in the simulation. They were given two 5 minute sections. I think if this simulation were expanded to be a two or three day lesson, depending on scheduling, each student would have been able to adequately participate and learn. ]]> 2017-04-26 23:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168514436 dbrake1 https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168738443 Glows: 
- The teacher began the lesson with praise and acknowledgment of the student's success.Students were able to track their success and see their growth. 
- Throughout the lesson, the teacher treated each individual respectfully, adapting her lesson to fit the student's needs (i.e. using examples from topics that the students may relate to, like sports.)

Grows: 
- The seating in the room does not lend itself to collaboration, although the students worked together through peer editing. Perhaps the seating could be adjusted to better accommodate the learning environment. 
- The teacher verbalized her praise throughout the entire lesson. Non-verbal rewards could be implemented to further enhance the nurturing environment. ]]> 2017-04-27 19:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168738443 shobbs12 https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168759181 Standards III and IV
Glows:
The teacher used several instructional methods throughout the video to present the lesson.  The instruction was also presented in a manner where the students could understand.  The teacher also used instructional aids that the student could relate to and a real scenario was used to provide relevancy to the lesson.
Grows: 
Some of the students were not engaged during the lesson. The teacher could have altered her teaching methods to engage the class.]]> 2017-04-27 20:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168759181 mruff5 https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168779386 Standard IV: Teachers Facilitate Learning for Their Students
Glows:
-The Teacher began with a discussion on The Middle Passage and called on each group to input their thoughts in order to get everyone to participate. He did an amazing job of keeping students engaged with very little down time.
- He then went on to have students close their eyes and envision what scenario he was placing them in and then proceeded to do role playing. These methods kept all students engaged and thinking deeper than they would have otherwise. He then had students turn and talk for 30 seconds and then each group had to share out what they discussed.
Grows:
- It appeared that a lot of activities were crammed into small blocks of time. While it kept the pace moving and did not allow for students to be bored, it did not allow for students who needed more time to have it. 
- Instead of simply asking how students feel, it may have been helpful to ask questions in regards to how they could relate the content to other areas of what was ]]> 2017-04-28 00:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168779386 cssimmo1 https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168792443 The teacher in this video is teaching a math lesson to a group of 6th grade students.  She does a very good job of engaging the learners using a variety of learning styles as well as questioning that allows the students small group discussion. 
Grows:
The last activity was engaging but perhaps uncomfortable for some students.  It could have been optional or completed in a different manner. 
The teacher clearly has established a safe work space for students but it could have been more student led.]]> 2017-04-28 03:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jyandl11/tr8xv7pvw6bh/wish/168792443
