Reflective notes:
I have chosen to discuss two of Mr. Aamir lessons that combined, combined covered at two hours interval.
He stated the class every morning with him reading lesson. Mr. Aamir walked over to his chair, sat down and
called the children over and told them to all sits as “Indian style”. After every child was seated with their
hands in their lap, Mr. Amir began explaining what story He would reading to the class the morning. As he
read, he used group altering by periodically asking the students questions pertaining to the characters or the
words in the story. Such as “which word rhyme in this sentence?” or “What is the feeling word?” This made
the engaged time with the students last longer since they knew they would be asked to answer. After
reading the lesson, he would then tell the kids to disperse into their groups and tell them what corners to go
to. Mr. Aamir later explained that the kids were grouped based on their scores from a test given at the
beginning of the year. This way, he knew he would have to work longer with a certain group or not as longer
with another based on how much they previously knew. The
kids then either went to the computer corner, the teacher’s aide, or to work with Mr. Irfan. At each corner
the children worked on word identification, reading, phonics and spelling. The children who needed the help
more worked with Mr. Aamir while the others worked at various
corners’ made the video of all the proceedings in which I focus the mentor, student’s activities and overall
environment of classroom

discuss the classroom environment, the school, the student’s participation, and
the teacher’s overall effectiveness. I will then talk about how much the experience had an impact on my
aspiration to teach.
Teacher Observation Report
Part I: Observation
For my teacher observation, I chose to go and observe in classroom at GPS Umar Abad Mianwali. The
school as whole is rather large and has around 200 students and over 10 teachers thus creating a stable
student-to-teacher ratio. All of my observations hours were spent observing Mr. Aamir classroom. After
walking into the classroom, you immediately feel welcome. On the floor is a doormat full of color. The rug
says welcome and makes you feel just that. On the wall there are a number of pictures encourages
learning? There are pictures of color, shapes, letters, vegetables, animals’ objects and numbers. There are
pictures of animals at desks and animals reading and writing. This is supposed to provide fun twist on
learning for students. I also noticed there was a schedule on board showing allocated time for each
subject and calendar with current and previous date flipped over. Also on the board is a “Discipline
tracker” as He calls it. It consisted of 3 Plates: one red, one yellow, and one green. This will be explained
later. The classroom was also divided into 3 spaces: the
teacher’s desk, the student’s desk and the reading corner. Overall, the classroom environment was very
homey. He stated the class every morning with him reading lesson. Mr. Aamir walked over to his chair, sat
down and called the children over and told them to all sits as “Indian style”. After every child was seated
with their hands in their lap, Mr. Aamir began explaining what would He is going to taught the class. As He
read, He used group altering by periodically asking the students questions pertaining to the characters or
the words in the story. He then draws the picture of clocks to tell the students. This made the engaged
time with the students last longer since they knew they would be asked to answer. After reading the
lesson, He would then tell the students to disperse into their groups and tell them to draw a clock without
writing the time then He randomly give these chits to the students and ask the students to write the time.
The school environment was very clean and well maintained. The bathrooms were also spotless. The staff
and students alike seem to really enjoy the school and the environment around them. There is no better
place to learn than some where you are comfortable.
Part II: Reflection
I believe that overall, this was a great experience. I honestly could not have been happier with how well
my observations of Mr. Irfan’s classroom went. I would strongly recommend his to interested student
looking for somewhere to learn the ways of teaching. Not only He was strong academically, but also you
could tell He had an interest passion for making sure each and every one of his students learned at least
something in class every day. Not only was He strong, but patient as well. Having fifteen kids running
around a room cannot be easy for anyone. Yet He handled it with grace and poise. I picked up so many
teaching methods while observing Mr Aamir. I loved how He had little note cards with each student’s
name and would flip from card to card after each question, giving every student a chance to participate
and ensuring participation. He also had a different student every morning to lead the morning exercise.
He later explained that this was to wake the students up and get their blood going in participation f
learning. I thought this was a unique and cleaver way to keep the students active and ready for
enthusiasm to teach. I loved the environment of school. As I walked down, whether coming or leaving, a
number of staff always smiled or said good morning, and meant it. The students had smiles on their faces
and it was clear that they coming to school every morning. The experience has truly opened my eyes and
made me realize that teaching really is what I would like to do for the rest of my life. To see children,
finally have something click in their heads or smile, when you tell them they answered the question
correctly makes all the hard times
worth it. Although I’m sure, it will be a lot of work, I have no doubt in my mind that molding young minds
is the right path for me.
