Success Stories

By comparing my ratings with the exemplar, I realized that subtle aspects of teacher-student interactions, like how instructions are given and how confusion is addressed, can significantly impact the overall effectiveness of the lesson. This practice emphasized the need to be thorough and consistent in evaluating different aspects of teaching to ensure reliability in ratings across different observers.

I learned the importance of engaging in frequent norming sessions on the observation tool for the sake of maintaining consistency.

One thing I learned from this experience is to make sure that you take detailed notes of your observations. They allow you to go back and reflect more easily.
