Observation notes __**WEEK 1**__

College - Philosophy class and power teaching (whole brain teaching) __[]__ **__What tools for engagement do you observe?__** There is a great deal of Ss involvement through "woos", and repeating mini lectures. **__What strategy for encoding does he use most?__** Ss repeated the mini lectures to their partners, (students taught each other)

College – Aristotle’s Four Causes __[]__ **__What do you perceive to be one of the essentials of power teaching from observing this clip?__** Class engagement, enthusiasm, repetition, and hand gestures. All this gets the Ss involved and focused on the lesson.

High School Math on Slope __[]__ **__Make two more observations about the “essentials of power teaching”__** Keep the lecturing short and have Ss use mirroring when listening, (active listening).

6th Grade Math Class Operations __[]__ **__How long does she talk before she expects the Ss to review?__** About 15-20 seconds of instruction. **__What role does positive reinforcement play here?__** It helps to get the students focused on the lesson as well as keeping them enthused.

4/5th Grade Teacher is 11 years old here __[]__ __**How does she outline “expectations” or “standards” for participation?**__ She tells the extra credit for gestures and d-extra credit for lack of gestures. __**How does she keep the discussion open ended?**__ She uses open ended questions such as asking for examples and keeps the discussion going by continuing to call on different Ss.

__[]__ **__What impact would this style of teaching make in the schools you have seen?__** This video was removed. However, having used "power teaching" I can say it can help get even the more difficult classes and kids involved and enthused about the class and lesson.

[] The teacher must drive desire to observe and learn The teacher must inspire creativity and learning
 * __Teaching is Amazing__**

__**It Only Takes One**__ [] In an interview many years ago my father explained why he went into medical education instead of private practice where the money is. It went something like this; As a single doctor I could help 100s maybe 1000s over the course of my career. As a medical educator I can help 100s of students learn to help their 100s or 1000s of patients. This is what a teacher does.

[] Helps identify opportunities for integration among disciplines; This can help show Ss the relevance of the lesson and how it relates to other areas of study and the "real world."

__**WEEK 2**__

[] I dont particularly care for these types of videos, think they are somewhat self serving. The kind of teacher you should be is yourself. You should teach in a way and with the tools that work for you. I should not try and teach like Eric or Jessica and vis versa.
 * __What Kind of Teacher will You Be Today__**

Boldly Go..... [] I think this video had some good points but there was to much going and and it went by to quickly for me to really want to explore it to deeply. It started annoyingly and continued that way with the music.

[] When developing a lesson plan need to ask what level you are going to focus on. Surface vs deep learning Skills, Knowledge, Attitude

[] This was a great explanation of Bloom's learning levels. There are 3 domains 6 levels with in each domain Must master lower levels of thinking before you can advance to the higher levels.

[] I didn't really get this one as I could not read the small print.

[] Although what was said in this video is nothing new to what we have learned in the past, it is well worth repeating. Safe class rooms, respect, students being engaged in the learning, etc. all important points to creating a positive learning environment.

__**Team Building Exercise**__ Chalkboard Sentences Divide the class into groups of 5-7. Each member of the group will add one word to the sentence. Players can not add words in between words that are already written. The sentence must have the same number of words as players.
