Post-Lesson Reflection
Lesson study should be a crucial component in every teacher
preparation program. There is so much development as a professional. In
lesson study you are able to simultaneously tap into numerous resources,
strategies, management skills, and people who truly understand you. This
experience has opened so many doors for me. In the past, I only viewed as
lesson study as a tool that only could be used in Language Arts. Now, I
realize that it can be used across the board.
This lesson helped me execute a near perfect lesson. I dare say
perfect because we were able to meet the objective of having our students
work in cooperative groups. Our students took learning in to their own hands
with few problems. I was expecting the students to loose control of the
situation. This lesson allowed me to give the students the responsibility to
take control of their activity. The students were able to function in their
assigned roles without interrupting their learning. The most important
finding for me was that the students were able to process and retain the
information. As a bonus, the higher functioning students were able to go on
to extra steps, such as labeling the plants and writing about not only the parts
of the plant, but also the needs of the plant.
