Observation 2

University Supervisor Name: -------------------University Supervisor Email: --------------------Lesson Topic: Numbers and Operations-Fractions
Observation Notes: The lesson was set in a rotation of five groups moving
through stations. Mr. Maurer has a small group of
students who were reviewing PARCC questions. Through
the process, the students were looking for possible
mistakes and tying the material to other easy to remember
concepts.
Strengths: Mr. Maurer has an excellent rapport with the students. He
makes learning fun. He encourages students to fix
mistakes. He makes connection to prior knowledge and
redirected students who were off tasks. He uses related
content language and has students discuss and show
what they mean in their work. (equivalent, numerator,
denominator, fraction, place value, decimal notation,
compare, greater and less than, hundredths, tenths)
Recommendations: Continue to use your sense of humor to make learning
fun. The students enjoy it and it promotes student
learning. They smile and are happy when they understand
the question or get their work done correctly.
Supervisor / Mentor's Next Steps: Due to days off, snow days and testing, I will return
February 18 at 8:30 for whole group instruction for math.
