Evidence (Candidate and Student)

Your power point and video simulations explained the project and science concepts important to building the roller coasters. Your examples connected to students experiences. (Ex., rubbing hands together to demonstrate friction) The pictures that you shared helped students to understand what camelbacks and loops were. While you asked some leading questions, you didnt really give the students much opportunity to discuss the key scientific concepts that you shared in your power point. You presented the information and then broke them into groups. More explanation and modeling would have made their group work more purposeful. Was the outcome to create a design for their roller coasters?

Summary Statement and Areas to Concentrate on Improving: A fine beginning, Dionetta! I commend you for teaching in front of the entire class for your first experience. You were well prepared in your planning and included technology as an effective resource for your presentation. Work on being more explicit in your directions and group expectations and provide students with more opportunities to share their ideas in whole group discussions.
