    The teacher observed was Ms. Muraiysa, who taught pre-kindergarten. She began her animal identification lesson by showing picture cards and ended by modeling a worksheet. Materials used included books, charts, cards, and toys. Instructional methods included demonstration, discovery learning, and cooperative learning. Assessment was formative through open-ended questions and summative via the worksheet. Classroom management was effective, with rules and engagement of off-task students. Important strategies observed were connecting to prior knowledge, using appreciation and questions to engage students, and printed rules in both English and Spanish.

    EDUC 5312-Curriculum and Instructional Design

    Classroom Observation Assignment

    Observation Form 1

    Observation Date: 04/11/2019 Observation Time: 9:30am to 10:30am

    Teacher Observed: Ms. Muraiysa Subject/Grade Level: Pre- Kindergarten

    School Observed: Creative Care Academy Observer: Asma Mazhar

    1-What was/were the learning objectives/outcomes of the lesson? (Add state objectives if
    known, for example, TEKS §111.4. Grade 2.b.)

    State Objective: According to “PREK GUIDELINES ALIGNMENT” VI.B.1. Child observes,


    investigates, describes and discusses the characteristics of organisms.

    Learning Objective: The student will identify parts of an animal.

    2-How did the teacher begin and end the lesson?

    Ms. Muraiysa started lesson, with the whole group, by showing them animal picture cards with
    the name of an animal. At the end of the lesson teacher shows the work sheet, she modeled that
    how they can fill it out.

    3-What did the teacher use for teaching materials or instructional aids/equipment?

    Teacher used a book about animals, sample work sheet drawn on chart paper for modeling and
    explaining the activity, animal picture cards and toy animals.

    4-Which instructional methods and strategies did the teacher use? (lecture, inquiry,
    discovery learning, discussions, games or simulations, demonstrations, cooperative learning,
    integration of technology, socrative questioning, etc)

    Ms Muraiysa used demonstration, discovery learning, and cooperative learning.


    5-How did the teacher assess learning? (informal, formal, formative, summative, oral, open-
    ended, quiz, feedback etc) See Chapter 8 for more information on assessment methods

    Teacher asked open ended question to some students and collect the work sheets at the end, to
    assess children’s progress, It’s a kind of summative assessment.

    6- What can you say about the teacher’s philosophy/beliefs and style?
    (Traditional/progressive, behaviorist, student-centered vs. teacher centered, authoritative etc)

    I can say that teacher’s style based on teacher centered, because at this stage of learning children
    needs to have on hand experiences, they are developing their skills, so they need support of a
    teacher to learn new things in their own pace.

    7-How does the teacher manage classroom? Can you identify classroom management
    techniques used?

    Ms. Muraiysa is good in classroom management, class is organized, the classroom’s rule chart
    was hanged on the wall on children’s eye level. I noticed that she was appreciated children who
    were sitting in circle time and pay attention to lesson, during the lesson she asked questions to
    get them involved and engaged.

    8-Observe in the classroom setting and determine types of behavior students play when off-
    task. What do they do when they are not paying attention? How does the teacher re-direct
    them or get them back on task?

    When some students were off-task during the circle time, when teacher was demonstrating the
    activity, they talked each other and touching the things in the shelves, then she call their names
    and point out the classroom rules chart that shows “we listen” and show them chart of “ready to
    learn position”. But in her class two children didn’t pay attention and they sat on chair and did
    something else. She tried to engage them, but they didn’t follow the directions, she gave them
    animal toys on the table.

    9-How does the teacher communicate with students (verbal, vocal, meta-verbal or non-verbal
    communication such as facial, body language, use of space, motion and time?)

    Most of the time she communicates verbally, sometime uses facial expression and body
    language.
    10-Who were the students in the class? What did you notice about them? (Background,
    diversity, attitude, motivation, interaction, participation, etc)

    I saw diversity in that classroom, some of them have Hispanic background, some are special
    need students, and rest of the other are regular English language students. Most of them
    cooperate each other but some doesn’t want to share anything with others and sit individually,
    special need student wants one on one attention.

    11-What did you see that is effective in engaging students? What do you see that is
    ineffective in keeping students engaged?

    Teacher communicate with the students during circle time and activity time, it’s the most
    effective strategy I have seen for engaging students. The activity work sheet is not appropriate
    for all children because some of them need help to write the letters, so those students lose their
    attention and they were no more engaged in that activity.

    12-What are the two instructional strategies you observed and would like to apply in your
    classroom?

    Teacher connecting the students to their previous knowledge, that’s really helps them to
    understand and learn new things. I like the way to engaged children in her circle time by
    appreciating those who are more attentive and pay attention and ask open ended questions that
    helps them in their critical thinking.

    13-What are two important classroom management strategies that you observed and would
    like to apply in your classroom?

    The first important classroom strategy that I would like to apply in my classroom is the print
    knowledge, that is not only in English language but in Spanish too, that’s helping the students to
    understand who speaks Spanish. Another one is that during the children activity time walk
    around the class and communicate them and help them if they need.
