Evaluation

 

Now that you have modified your lesson plan, it will be reviewed by your administrator. He/she has set up a list of criteria to ensure that you have incorporated a sufficient number of amendments to accommodate the special needs of the children. Although each child may require specific modifications, here are some basic ones that are essential for every classroom:

  • Classroom Arrangement- arrangement of student seating, isolation booths, and teacher accessibility are vital to the management of the classroom.
  • Individual Instruction- one-on-one teaching with the student, could include peer tutoring.
  • Reinforcement- positive or negative recognition for student behaviors and actions.
  • Teaching Technique- adapt your teaching style to accommodate all of your student. If needed, provide extra time, more lighting, cushions, etc. to make the students more comfortable.

After adding modifications to your lesson plan, it will be evaluated by your administrator and returned to you. If your plan is not approved by your administration, you will have an opportunity to resubmit it. The administrator will also come evaluate your performance in the classroom to ensure that you are doing your part in providing the best learning environment for the students. Here is the criteria that he/she will be looking for:

Criteria Insufficient Satisfactory Outstanding
Classroom Arrangement desks clustered together, teacher not accessible, visual distractions, no isolated areas limited visual distractions, few desks separated from others, few isolation booths/carrels, teacher usually accessible. desks separated in rows allowing independent work, teacher accessible to all students, several isolated areas for students to avoid distractions.
Individualized Instruction students don't receive individual attention, no peer tutoring/assistance, teacher not actively involved with students. little individual attention, some peer tutoring/assistance, teacher slightly interactive with students. extreme individual attention, promotes peer tutoring, highly interactive with each student.
Reinforcement no positive reinforcement, students recognized for negative actions only little positive reinforcement given, not enough recognition of good behavior, positive and negative reinforcement equal, students rewarded privileges for positve actions, removed from setting if misbehaving.
Teaching Techniqes Teacher does not allow students extra time for assignments, makes no special provisions for students. Teacher allows some extra time, provides extra lighting if needed(lamps, etc), but not sufficient for all students. Teacher allows extra time for assignments, provides extra lighting when necessary, allows student to have "alone time", makes students more comfortable in classroom.
