Laura Lab B

                                                    Laura Bakos Lab B Baton Pass


                                                              C9

For my lab b I thought I did ok but should do better next time. On my C9 form it says I did not have specific boundaries. Although I knew where the boundaries were I should have made it more clear to the students of where they were so they would have known where not to go. I could have used more groups so there would be less people standing around so  students would  have been more active. I noticed was I asked if anybody had any questions AFTER they scattered which I should have done before they spread out. This would have helped, because even in the video I noticed Greg asked me a question and I was on the other side of the gym and it was hard to hear his question so I had to move towards him which wasted some time. One of my major weaknesses is the use of my voice. I should talk a lot louder and clearer so everybody can hear my directions better. Although I did have a whistle I did not use it which I should have to get their attention.
                                                                 Time Sheet
Off my time management sheet I tried to use a short amount of time to give instructions. I succeeded  with 23% out of 30%. The things I need to work on is my time management. This was supposed to be less than 15% and I basically doubled it by 36%. I need to watch the flow of things between activities to save time and make things go more smoothly. My activity time was less than 50% at 30%. I could have done better with this by having more groups so the students could have been more active. This could have also helped with the waiting time which I received 11% when it should have been less than 5%.
                                                          Peer Observation
Although I did make a safety statement It was very brief so next time I will elaborate on that more because it is very important. During my first practice I did not use students' names and did not give them feedback which I should have. Giving congruent feedback would helped them with the skills I was trying to teach. I also should have done the demo in full speed so they would have known what I wanted them to do.
                                                         Verbal Transcript
While watching the video of myself there were many things I noticed that I did not realize while actually doing my lesson. I said, um, uh, and you guys numerous times. This is something I really need to work on because I know there are not only guys but girls and it will make me sound more professional.
                                                         Lab C Goals
Goals for lab c will be remember safety statement, do not say guys, and work on speaking more clearly and loudly

  1. Laura,

    I feel that everything is stemming from you being so nervous to teach. Just relax and try to over-think everything. It's hard at first but I am sure you'll get it. The big thing to me was as you said, your voice. In the gym you really have to make your voice carry. You are making big improvements! Keep it up!

  2. p.s.-don't forget your video off youtube and I know that we didn't have the camera the day you were teaching but you can always use a picture from a different day :)
