Class Observation Scan

In the observation practice, me and Antonio observed two classes/teachers. The first one, in classroom 6, I liked him a lot. From the moment I entered the classroom I was able to notice the good environment in there, as well as the good relationship that the students seemed to have with the teacher, and among themselves. The teacher was directing the class, according to what I observed, based on the objectives he had written on the board. Also, almost every student in the classroom participated, and they did it with a smile on their face.

I liked that despite of the good attitude and the nice relationship they seemed to have, the teacher would put some character to his words whenever he needed to (for example, to let a student know he did something against the rules in the center and/or classroom).

In the second classroom, we were receiving and treated with some sarcasm at the beginning, maybe because the teacher was not expecting us. In the short time we spent there, I can say that the class was very student-centered; in that time, the students were talking and interacting a lot, about the activity she had assigned them. In this classroom there also seemed to be a very good relationship between students and the teacher.

Both teachers used activities to reach the objectives, and I liked a lot the connection between them (Ss and Ts). Key moments for me, specifically in the first classroom, were those in which students completed activites and interacted with other students, and with the teacher.

Here is the form I filled in with the first teacher's class, so that you can check them:

Here is the second one:
