Below are a few characteristics of effective teaching. Use these to provide helpful comments and feedback to your peer.
Write additional comments in the space below. Provide a copy of your comments to the person you observe.

Category

Description

Comments

Assessmen
t

The students understand (clear

language) the purpose of the lesson
and this is assessed in multiple
ways.

Used clear, simple and understandable

language. Asked questions to see if
students understood material and used
observation of students performing the
tasks.

Enthusias
m

The teacher has a positive attitude

towards the students and content.
The classroom climate is positively
affected by their attitude. Behaviors
include smiling, movement around
gym, passionate description of
content and activities

Tone of voice was assertive and positive.

Movement around the gym during first
activity addressed all the groups but during
the second activity it centered mostly in
one area and did not get over to the far
side where the rowdy group was.

Classroom
Mgt.

Teacher is organized with

equipment, transitions run quickly
and smoothly, students spend
majority of time actively engaged in
the lesson

Clear guidelines and expectations at the

beginning of the class set the tone and
boundries for the rest of the lesson. Going
over specific guidelines for certain
activities (how far away to be) would have
also helped with classroom management
for those activities.
Go over tagging again before actually
doing that part of the lesson.
Caught the boys behavior and used the
first step of managing behavior (pausing
and making eye contact). This group got a
bit rowdy during the second activity.
The whistle was a great attention grabber.
Transitions were smooth and activities
connected to one another. Having
everything set up prior to starting aided
this.

Voice/

The teacher uses their voice to

enhance student learning. It is
projected in a way that all students
can hear. The teacher presents
themselves as confident in theyre
teaching and content knowledge.

Good voice projection, easy to hear you

when facing the class (just remember its
hard to hear when facing away). Sounded
confident and assuring.

Feedback

Teacher provides adequate positive

feedback (specific and general) and
constructive feedback to the
students based on the activity in
which they are involved.

Good feedback to individual groups and

correcting them in a positive way.
Feedback was specific and clear.
Addressed common issues with the whole
class (such as tossing method).

Motivation/

The students are motivated to

participate in the lesson and
engaged throughout (intro, body,
closure).

The students were engaged throughout in

part due to appropriate length of activities
(long enough to work on skills but not so
long that students get bored).

Confidenc
e

Engageme
nt

Most students were really engaged (to the

point of acting out) and in general the class
seemed to be enjoying the activity.
Checking in with some of the students not
putting as much effort in may have
encouraged increased participation.

Content
Knowledge
/

The teacher demonstrates sufficient

knowledge to promote student
learning and explains the activities
clearly.

CLARITY

Demonstration as well as explanation

helped for clarity of the task.
Demonstrating the toss and going through
step by step initially would have avoided
needing to go back and correct students
method.

Additional Comments:
In general a fun class with engaged students and use of different assessment methods (self
assessment [exit slip] and observation). Activities were connected which helped with the transitions
although some tasks could have used a bit more direction (how far apart to be, how to throw, etc.) as some
students participated at the minimum level without this direction (standing 2 feet apart to pass to one
another). Feedback was good and you addressed common issues with the whole class.
Movement throughout the gym usually centered on one side, allowing activity on the farthest side to
get a bit rough but you were addressing and clarifying issues with those that needed it. Voice was loud and
clear, and the whistle was an effective way to attract the attention of the class. Students were engaged and
the class laid the foundation for future lessons.
