Evaluate 3 - Self Reflection

Evaluate 3 - Self Reflection

 Artifact: Submit evidence of reflection on your individual teaching abilities. Include a minimum of (2) two artifacts: evaluation feedback, your own reflections, e-portfolio links, professional growth plans, recommendation letters, stakeholder feedback and anything else that showcases introspection into strengths and weaknesses as an online educator and document all in your individual blog.

Two Artifacts

 

 

From this sample I could see that students were having trouble in this section. Maybe my feed back was not specific enough, maybe the online lessons did not give enough examples. I decided that i needed to make some videos on this material.

My Strengths - 

• Looking for students that are pacing poorly or scoring poorly and communicating with them.
• Looking at scoring tendencies and creating videos, activities, FAQ's and how to's. Posting these in a common area such as Announcements and sending out to students.
• Looking at students pacing and sending them needed information about end of unit or end of course tests.
• Organization - I have spreadsheets of problem feedback, Youtube lists for each course, logs of communication sent to parents, emails organized into folders for quick review when needed.
• Feedback - I have feedback for every problem in my courses. This feed back is particular to each problem and organized in spread sheet form for every assignment.  Picture of one below:

 Example of feed back

XXX, You did well on this assignment. Please read and use the notes below. Retry this assignment if you think you can improve your grade. Be aware that the computer takes the LAST grade, not the best grade. - Mrs. Noss

#3 A car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds. What is the speed of the car?

speed = distance over time ; 1 mile = 1609 meters (2 points)

Since all answers are in miles/hour we need to convert all measurements to miles and hours.

100 meters / 1609 = 0.0622 (rounded)
5 / 3600 = 0.00139 (rounded)

speed = distance / time = 0.0622/0.00139 = 44 .7 mph

Weaknesses -

• Calling student families - I much rather communicate by email or message text
• Giving students too much information too soon
• Not creating enough resources on Logical debugging

 

Ms. Noss,

I also wanted to let you know about a few things. Other than the “Ghosts” program, I still have the assignments from Iterating Over An Array (Lesson 4). If you could look at the heads and tails activity to give me an idea of what I’m doing wrong, that would be great. I also have the simulation activity. I’m not exactly sure how to approach that one either…since it was not really explained in the video. Other than that, I just need to take the unit test and I will be all done. Just wanted to let you know and ask if you could help me out with these few assignments.

Thanks so much,
