My growth from lab b to lab c was good. I feel myself getting more comfortable in talking  to and teaching others. Although I am still nervous in front of people but I am learning on how to deal with it and keep calm. I noticed I did not say “guys” as much this time which is a big improvement.

C9- For my C9 I received a 13.75 out of 19. Although my instant activity started quickly the other activities did not. The game of Tchouckball has a lot of rules. I tried to explain ALL of them rather than focusing on the most important rules. I demonstrated my main activity in the mirrors thinking it would be better so everybody can see. Facing the students and doing demonstrations from different angles is the best way to do this so everybody can see what you want them to do. I also need to do better with my feedback. Saying student’s names and using congruent feedback will help the students in working on their skills. One of my biggest weaknesses is my voice. I need to project more.

Time coding- Time coding is something that I need to work on. I received 1 point out of the overall 5. My management time was 17%. I can work on this by putting equipment where it needs to before starting my lesson. My activity time was 44% out of 50% which I though was good but could be better. I want the students to have the maximum amount of activity time as possible. My instruction time was 39%. I think I tried to explain too many rules at once which may have confused some students. Next time I will focus on the most important rules of the game. One of my strengths off the time coding sheet was my waiting time which was 0%. This means students were not standing around. being inactive.

Teacher Behavior Scale-  While watching my video I realized I could have used more feedback to the 

students. I said things like " good job"  and "nice pass" but feedback was very general where it should have been more specific. I think this is because I was nervous about being in front of people and I was worried about managing my time. I need to say students names more and give congruent feedback so they know what I want them to do and work on. I think this scale helped me realize what I need to work on in this category.

Goals- Some goals for Lab D will be speaking louder and more clear so students can hear and understand what I want them to do. Demonstrating skills from different angles may help as well. Managing time so students get maximum activity is also very important.
