#OBSERVEME by Beth Zirogiannis https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji Using your response journal from your 5 lessons - please select one entry and post one glow/one grow from a lesson your reflected on in your journal. After identifying a glow/grow, please share the evidence you collected and what you learned from this particular lesson. (You can either write your post or use the film yourself option...found when you click on the 3 little dots.... which works like flipgrid....there are so many ways to post your response on Padlet!) en-us 2018-02-19 23:01:06 UTC 2026-06-08 18:53:26 UTC hello@padlet.com #Observeme https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/235674458 2018-02-26 23:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/235674458 Glow: All the students were engaged in all parts of the lesson because they enjoyed the basketball activity they did first. When they were done they really wanted to know what their "basketball average" was. They were doing math and having fun! https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236098782
Grow: I need to continue to find ways to make math fun for them. This is challenging because we have such limited time when it comes to the pace we need to keep to follow the curriculum.]]> 2018-02-27 19:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236098782 #Observeme: Students assume responsibility for productivity and that all voices are heard. https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236125797 glow: During POGIL activities, teams of 4 students created a shared google document. They were able to edit and add to the document at the same time. I was observing and listening to their discussion. While observing I saw each student taking ownership of some part of the document. During presentation, each student discussed some part of the project outcome.
Grow: I feel that some students may still be relying on the work of others. I need to incorporate some individual aspect to this type of project. Maybe a Think-pair-share? ]]> 2018-02-27 19:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236125797 #Observeme: Are students actively engaged in the learning target and to what extent can they demonstrate their proficiency of it by the end of the lesson? https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236133070 Target:  I can identify people and things on board the plane.
GLOW:  Students were engaged as we chorally repeated the vocabulary for the chapter.  Students were also actively engaged in annotating vocabulary with French to French definitions that they worked on in pairs first and then wrote together as a class.  However, evidence of proficiency was limited to the closure activity at the end of the lesson and the activity was rather short.
GROW: I think students would be able to demonstrate proficiency of vocabulary more if I broke up the vocab in smaller chunks and created formative activities to practice as the vocabulary is introduced (i.e. after the section on places/things, stop and have students work in small groups orally identifying places in the picture and/or creating a short conversation based on the image).]]> 2018-02-27 20:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236133070 https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236135832 Glow: All of the students were excited that they were starting the essay with the same base of experience and all together. They had just come out of a great Socratic and were visibly excited.

Grow: I could have them share specific concerns/questions prior so that the instruction is more targeted. Writing is so subjective and they are at such different levels that it is rough to meet all individual needs.

for the high standard of education. 

Evidence: 95% of the class is working quietly alone or small groups. The kids are so engaged that I am actually bored with little to contribute. 

Grow: A few students slip through the cracks and either can’t or won’t participate at the level I am expecting. 

Evidence: After the teacher led portion of the lesson ends, one student raises their hand to ask when extra help is and then immediately puts down her pen.

Typically, I have some type of summary question but I've noticed that students sometimes just write something down and pack up or wait for the bell to ring, I'm thinking about having them share their responses on Google Classroom as a way to work on this. https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236136683 2018-02-27 20:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236136683 Glow and Grow kgemino https://padlet.com/oceansideschooldistrict/y1bzok43ryji/wish/236138342 Glow: this is a challenging class and the students were trying to tell the students which act up to behave.

Grow: Using less class time for work and more class time for cleanup. If I would hold them accountable (more) I wouldn't have to do it myself and they would be better at it.
