Self Evaluation

Preparation: Forgot to Show Up (1) vs. Every Hair In Place (10) = 4
Technique: Completely Incompetent (1) vs. Flawless Delivery (10) = 6
Engagement: Snoring Loudly (1) vs. Absolutely Riveted (10) = 7

Poise: Charlie Brown (1) vs. Prince (10) = 6
Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 6

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Today we talked about causes of household mold, its hazards and ways to prevent it. MC was running late but informed DJ well in advance. The class was totally huge and included some new learners, so we had to make copies of ABC sheet and lesson materials on the fly. Luckily, students were super engaged in the content, so everything moved pretty fluidly despite the running around. The classroom was pretty packed, so floating around to check work and answer questions was logistically a little tricky, but as usual with the Midland group, learners were keen on helping each other, and we were able to move along at a steady pace anyhow. A solid class overall.

Preparation: Forgot to Show Up (1) vs. Every Hair In Place (10) = 7
Technique: Completely Incompetent (1) vs. Flawless Delivery (10) = 7
Engagement: Snoring Loudly (1) vs. Absolutely Riveted (10) = 7

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Today we focused on what can happen and what to do in the event of an earthquake. The class had mostly mid- and high-level learners, so it moved pretty quickly. We started with a listening activity that incorporated some type, which seemed to engage learners well. A second tpr activity (practicing drop, cover, hold on) didn’t take as long as anticipated, so MC had to fill in extra time with additional dictation activities. Students were laughing, poking fun at each other and helping each other out throughout class, so it was super energetic and dynamic. Some colloquialisms were confusing to learners, but many asked for explanations, so it worked out to be a good learning opportunity for students and facilitators alike.

Reflection: “It was ok.” (1) vs. Life-changing Epiphany (10) = 7

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Melissa introduced the learners to emergency kits. She had great visuals (video + small emergency kit) so they could understand what they were and the sorts of things that you can find in them. We had 5 new students, with a total of 16 students! It was a bit hard to move around the room with so many people in it, but we each tried to work in one section of the room and then rotate to be able to help other learners. The students were very engaged in the material and they seemed to enjoy the lesson.
