FEAG

After looking through the FEAG:

Some spots where I feel I am performing above a two might be:

Planning and Prep 1- I feel as though I have created some great lesson plans that are meant to help students develop meaningful understanding of the content being taught. I have created an activity about an egg launch that will help students determine what the vertex, intercepts, and shape of a quadratic function represent in the context of the problem.

Classroom Social Context and Environment 4- I have made great strides in using group work in my lessons. I have used many different types of grouping methods and feel the students are enjoying the group work I am providing. In the beginning students did not seem to enjoy working in groups because they were not talking with each other, but now when told to work in groups students begin talking right away.

Reflection and Professionalism 3- I am always trying to help out in the classroom. I work really hard to help my teacher stay on top of all the administrative tasks during the lesson. I usually make sure to volunteer to pass back any student work that has been graded.

Some spots where I feel I am performing below a 2 might be:

Content and Instruction 6- I have been struggling with time management during my lessons and usually feel pressed for time at the end of lessons. I would like to work on this because I think it is very important to have enough time at the end of a lesson to properly provide closure.

Classroom Social Context and Environment 1- I think I should have done a better job during the first four days building rapport with students. I was never formally introduced to the class and I should have been assertive enough to introduce myself to the classes. However, students do seem to be comfortable asking me questions about math.

Some spots where I feel I am performing at a 2 might be:

Assessment and Evaluation 2- I work really hard to perform pre-assessments, post-assessments, and informal assessments during my lessons. Sometimes I do not have enough time to informally evaluate each student, but I feel I am performing adequately right now.
