Teacher and Peer evaluation are critical to our success and improvements. Be sure to support meeting objectives by providing feedback and acting on feedback received.

Student Teaching - Part 1 Fundamentals

Students will engage in lesson preparation, teaching, and grading. This activity is often called “Team Teach”. The process and purpose are as follows:

  1. Learn Units #1-#10 from the College Board.
  2. Build a lesson using Java for each of the topics provided by the teacher’s starters.
  3. The lesson should include a Tech Talk portion, popcorn hacks, and homework hacks. The lesson should NOT have more than 5 minutes of talking before engaging students in an activity (e.g., popcorn hacks).
  4. Be prepared to grade homework. This means having a plan for homework and a plan for grading the homework. You will grade on a “1-point” scale. Weight popcorn hacks and homework hacks in the grading.
  5. Lesson time will be between 20 and 30 minutes. Homework time should be about the same as lesson time.

Beyond Perfunctory 1 0.9 We all came together and brought the Unit 7 TeamTeach and overall I’d say it was a pretty good experience, not only learning the basics that we were going to teach but also developing the teamwork and cooperation throughout the whole TeamTeach unit :)

Lesson Review - Topic Relevancy (Stdent Review)

Peer review checklist. Guideance

  • Scurm Master should coordinate.

  • Peer grading should be coordinated in Slack, if there are any issues.

  • Lesson providers will receive reviews from a peers in another class, doing the same topic, by enabling Utterances on your topic(s).

  • Peer graders will grade on Utterances. Be sure two people provide a review to every section of lesson (ie 2 reviews on intro, 2 reviews on .1, 2 reviews on .2, …).

  • Assingments are to review corresponding topics in other classes where possible. Otherwise review topic that does not match one taught in classroom.

Note 1. Student reviewers will be evaluated on how and if you perform a review Note 2. Student lesson providers will be evaluated if they improve lesson based off of feedback. Remebmer/document your changes

Relevancy Checklist

Assignment Weightage Grade Comments
College Board Coverage 20 18 Covered most of the collegeboard concepts in depth, great summary and explanations.
Java Examples 30 27.5 Great classic collegeboard examples that help students understand what it looks like, although it would be better to have some more examples, like a couple questions from past papers related to sorting.
Popcorn Hack Usage 10 9.4 Great popcorn hack involving sorting the ducks with either insertion or selection sort. It would definitely be better to have one more though.
Homework 10 9.8 The homework had great and relevant coverage from the lesson.
Grading Plan 10 9.5 Grading plan is complete and organized.
Original and Creative 10 9.8 It’s a great thing that you used several pictures and examples to help students deepen their understanding of sorting, helping them visualize. Sorting is not easy at first, so your pictures were very helpful in understanding how exactly it works. Your part of the lesson is also really organized.
Total 90 84 In conclusion, Jason did a great job overall! He was able to summarize the three videos of his part and combine it into one part of the lesson effectively and concisely. He provided examples and pictures which were very helpful in understanding the sorting concepts. One thing to improve on is making the page a little more interactive. I also really liked the lesson home page which involved the ArrayList bubbles. It was super cool!
